"Who hath Honour ? Him that died o' Wednesday! (Falstaff: Henry IV Part 1)
Apopcryphal Story from a Long Time Ago:
The time is late December 1940; the New Year's Honours List has just been made public.
An M.P. stands up in the Commons * "What about the knights who ride on the wings of Spitfires ?"
* Would the Commons be sitting then ? Don't know - there was a War on !
Nothing changes.
