Clarkson bested...by a Sun reader

BBC News - Clarkson stung after bank prank

Jeremy Clarkson, that last bastion of humourous and unsubstantiated xenophobia recently decided to speak out against all the furore about the 25 million lost personal details by publishing his bank details in his weekly column, and daring anyone to try and steal from him.

Unfortunately for him, one canny reader did what, for him, must seem like one worse - they signed him up for a charitable direct debit. And, just when you thought it couldn't get any more humiliating, you've got to remember - this was very likely someone who regularly reads The Sun that did this to him.

Thanks to Devil's Kitchen for the tip off here :)

Nope...it's in The Sun. From the BBC article I linked:
