JEREMY Clarkson says a boffins' study - part of an £87million taxpayers' handout - that claims living near heritage sites makes folk happy is "b*****ks".

The ex-Top Gear motormouth, 63, slammed a Government-funded study by Historic England which found "what actually makes me happy is the fact that just five miles from where I live there's some kind of old druidy stone circle".

Creepy Clarkson criticised the fact experts who "can't mend the roads or fit our submarines with a missile that actually works" were given public money to "produce guff like this".
