My only question is, why do these guys feel the need to actually print these things. It's as you say common knowledge. But if it being revealed costs him the job like Perry then it's nothing but a pointless endevour.

Exactly, what is the point. He may lose his job because of this ::)

Well done to everyone who just had to know............at all costs [smiley=clapping.gif] [smiley=clapping.gif]

My only argument in Bens defense of his job is, unlike Perry he didn't reveal it himself in a book, so technically the BBC can still deny it is him. It wouldn't surprise me to see them throw something up with Collins and the stig appearing together.

It's a lie.

The Stig is The Stig. Everyone else is just pretending to be him/her/it

 I didn't look, and let's hope "The Stig" retaliates on these people in a completely outrageous and very painful Stig-type fashion! ;D

Sure he would. He is after all an accomplished multi-tasker. He could easily President in between the pauses on the forieign language lessons whilst turning laps in the latest Zonda. ;D
