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.

    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
