I may get flamed for this ....

I like him as a presenter and I think he could make a successful career from it but in my view it is time to lose the shorts. The completeness of his rehab is that he is outwardly just the same as everyone else - we know and respect what he has achieved.
I'm guessing you aren't an amputee.

Trousers are a total to wear, maybe it's time to lose the ignorance of the subject matter you have?
Nope and I don't doubt your feedback

Unfortunately ignorant people like me just see a schoolboy and it is not a look to be taken seriously.

If he doesn’t fit with your norms you can’t take him seriously…. Fair play for being honest, but bloody hell mate.

I think he relates better to the new breed of young drivers.

I think the imagery or to the point the subconscious imagery is a not a unwelcome turn .
Bit like nose piercing , facial tattoos , daft hair dye and styles .Nobody’s challenging the work ethic of moral background which some on here were thus far quick to jump on the guy who said “ loose the shorts “ .
It just not only the shorts it’s the height of him stud in the semi circle with the other two .
Coultard isn’t a tall bloke either .
If you goody holier than thou guys ridiculing the “ loose the shorts “ suggestion think a blokes height does not matter see Tom Cruise recently.If you are correct ( remember he s made some pretty successful movies ) then why does he wear “heels “ or did he at the last TG premier?

It’s the subconscious the stuff through behaviour and upbringing, education etc that’s been hard wired in .Hard wired in it’s hard to untangle .Boys shouldn’t cry , man up etc .

So for me as a commentator rather than listen to his words , i am distracted by the prosthesis on display and secondly why they are too short .
I get balance , but surely it’s better for him to attempt to train with longer or even different feet attached, which not resemble shoes and be of course covered with …..trousers .
If his head / shoulders were about similar in the mix as the other two , and you never saw the prostheses one would LISTEN to his words imho rather than be distracted working out why , this that and the other as outlined above .

Move on from the disability “ look at me “ .
Wait… I’ve just realised this one was possibly worse?

So we shouldn’t ignore Billy because of his disability or his shorts, but apparently ‘one’ ignores him because he’s not sufficiently tall?

It’s one of the stupidest posts I’ve ever read. Also appallingly written.

Fiammetta, applying your standards, if you want your post to be taken in any way seriously (despite containing nothing whatsoever of any merit) learn to use English properly.

You’re clearly dim. That’s nothing to do with dyslexia. I applied the standards of your post to you, as it says, in English.

Nobody with an actual disability should be parody posting claiming they take someone’s less seriously because of theirs. If you are that’s trolling and the mods needs to have a word.
