Reminds me of the lamentable giraffe that has become the MBE. With 24 year old females getting MBEs for their achievements in fashion and make-up, one has to question the entire honours and awards system!
Being a northern bloke who washes each morning using cold water and sandpaper .....WTF?!
Then again, teenage Olympic medalists getting MBEs and the online petition for Ryan Giggs to be knighted. Says it all really about how things have become under the current administration. Nothing is sacred anymore.
Then again, how does Olympic medal winners getting MBEs on top of their Olympic medals for arguably just doing their jobs, chime with the govt policy of only one gong per event? Can we all wear our ISAF medals now?
