Two points if I may Sam.
(1) Anybody can nominate anybody else for an honour - frankly, even if true, it's an irrelevance. For all we know, you and I have both been nominated for OBEs by colleagues with an inflated view of our achievements, and Buck House turned us down because we didn't deserve them. It is certainly I'm sure true of numerous other people that neither of us know.
(2) If I were you, I'd remove your email address, and anybody else's, from these posts as it's just an invitation to spambots.
