It all started with an episode of Top Gear. James May's exact words were:
"Hang on who invented Monocles?"
There was a sort of empty silence after that.
'The question came out of no where. It was completely off subject. It throw us all of guard' Says, Richard Hammond.
'I've never heard the audience go so silent before!' Jeremy Clarkson.
'It's as if James May has opened some kind of Pandora's box. I've never seen an audience so shocked.'
Richard Hammond.
'Well I am a genius.' James May.
A week later and the debate has been booming across England! 'Who invented the Monocle?'
One talk show host even claimed to have had a violent intruder enter his studio.
"He threatened me with my life. He said he wanted radio time. He was a very staunch British man, he reminder of Hitler. He said he invented the monocle and wanted James may to burn for his comment. It was all very hard to understand, he was just some scary old guy with a moustache."
