AS THOUSANDS of students across the UK await their exam results, Jeremy Clarkson’s annual tweet about his A-level results has become a bit of a tradition.
The Clarkson’s Farm and The Grand Tour presenter famously received a C and two Us in his A-level over 40 years ago.
In his own way it’s a way of comforting those who don’t do particularly well in their exams that bad grades will not necessarily stop students from achieving their dreams.
Since 2014, the former Top Gear presenter has tweeted his A-level results.
The always follow a similar structure.
“If you didn’t get the results you wanted, I got a C and two Us…” followed by an explanation of his millionaire lifestyle.
Here are all of his tweets so far.

The thing about this annual Jeremy Clarkson tweet is that he’s trying to turn it into a sort of knowing, self aware running joke, but deep down he is literally just boasting.
