Turtle, I agree with people like Alan Woodhouse getting recognition as well as Patricia Routledge but, as you say, Victoria Beckham? I'm not in favour of sports people who make millions out of their sport getting knighthoods etc particularly while they are still active in whatever sport they play.

Beckham's an advert for consumerism and is as shallow as anything. Can't argue for her value as an inspiration to the younger generation.


Newspapers today - she's not happy being averagely rich, she wants to climb and be among the super rich. First world problem, Vic.


Farage - well... can I add Katie Hopkins to those who shouldn't?

I hate the whole 'Empire' in the title bit and never get excited about winners etc.


If anyone has seen 'A United Kingdom' which was out Nov-2016, then getting one of these titles would leave a bad taste.


I'm all for recognising achievement, just not with honours that hark back to a distasteful period in British history.

I can't be the only one who's thinking of the 'What did the Romans ever do for us' part of the Life of Brian.

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.
