UMVA has learned that Jeremy Clarkson's pub, The Farmer's Dog, has been forced to close part of its services due to the extreme temperatures in an unprecedented heatwave.
The hot conditions have impacted various aspects of daily life, with hundreds of schools closed across the country and rare red weather warnings issued. The tube networks are also affected, posing a serious threat to people's health.
Clarkson's pub, located near Burford in Oxfordshire, took to social media to share the news that their butcher's counter would be closed for the day and potentially for the remainder of the week. The post explained that when Britain reaches temperatures normally associated with southern Spain, certain things stop working properly.
The Farmer's Dog pub stated that the combination of extreme heat, refrigeration units, and a giant tent has proved challenging. They are working on solutions and will reopen as soon as it's sensible to do so. However, their famous sausage rolls will still be available from the garden bars and pub bar.
In a considerate move, the pub also addressed people bringing dogs to the establishment, advising that it might be a good day for them to stay somewhere cool and comfortable instead, given the lack of shade on site and temperatures reaching 35°C and beyond.
This development comes after Jeremy Clarkson revealed on Sunday that he is officially in remission after sharing his cancer diagnosis. The news was announced after the final episodes of Clarkson's Farm on Amazon Prime, which revealed that he had been diagnosed with 'aggressive' prostate cancer.
Clarkson shared his diagnosis in the episodes, stating that it had been caught early and he had undergone surgery to remove part of his prostate. He expressed his gratitude for being 'the world's luckiest man' after a follow-up test two months ago showed no indication of cancer.
He emphasized the importance of getting checked, urging everyone to do so, saying it's not uncomfortable or undignified, and it's a no-brainer. Clarkson credited his timely diagnosis and treatment for being alive 11 months after his initial diagnosis.
