Janty Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 He might stay. The papers have only pieced it together with further info...the photographer hasn't named him exactly so he could get away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Well that was the worlds worst kept secret anyway. TBH I never knew the papers hadn't exposed him DUUURRR all they had to do was google it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 It's a shame that some of the British press have an obsession with 'celebrity' and feel the need to nosey out everything about someone's life This guy seems like a nice chappy but the whole thing about The Stig was that we didn't know who he was and I don't feel that we needed to know who he was knowing that he is not a famous F1 driver etc... is a bit of an anticlimax after the fun years of speculation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Real shame I feel There was an article about it in yesterday's Times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I hope they manage to keep up the pretence somehow , don't know how they'll manage that though. Quite sad now it's out in the open . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 It's like someone telling a small child that Father Christmas or the tooth fairy don't exist. I really can't understand why someone fetl the need to spill the beans - I don't really watch TV, but I guess that it will have spoiled the myth.

I am a complete top gear addict, but although we all joke about wanting to know who the stig was I didn't really want to know. It is like finding out about santa .

bronze Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Yes even though I've always said it was Ben Collins I liked not knowing and that just being my opinion. It ruins it now doesn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
