The post - 1991 awards are .... how to state this graciously .... ummm gaudy, vulgar and quite awful.
Quite happy to complete my life without the opportunity to be awarded something like that. Should it happen, however, I would be tempted to politely decline. The DSC doesn't compare in elegance, historical significance or dignity to the MC (or DFC or DSC*).
There .... I've got that off my chest. Back to the newspaper.
