Well done Jeremy Clarkson

I used to think that it wouldn’t matter if my bank details got leaked, because that would only enable people to put money in to my account, and not take it out. A friend of mine who worked in a bank told me it is not quite so straightforward, and advised me not to broadcast my personal details on the internet. This is funny.

TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson has lost money after publishing his bank details in his newspaper column.

The Top Gear host revealed his account numbers after rubbishing the furore over the loss of 25 million people’s personal details on two computer discs.

He wanted to prove the story was a fuss about nothing.

But Clarkson admitted he was “wrong” after he discovered a reader had used the details to create a £500 direct debit to the charity Diabetes UK.
