Last year, Clarkson pondered where the British could emigrate in search of a better life and his list included Poland.

"We would all be happy in Eastern Europe. More specifically, Poland.
“We sit and complain that all truck drivers and builders have returned to Poland. If that's what we want - well-built houses and regular supplies of toilet paper - why don't we move to Warsaw?”
He added: “There are proper seasons there: - winter with snow and hot summers.”
