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.

    • Jon and his Team came over today to clear two gutters at front of the house.  Job completed professionally and quickly, very friendly and reasonable prices.  Will be using again in the future. Highly recommend.    Jon - 07908 953257 https://www.jonsmithscleaningservices.co.uk
    • In deed.   An hour is optimistic. I'd always use the train/tube, so many options from the slowish Picadilly, quick Heathrow Express and Lizzy line in the middle. In the old days I'd go out to Feltham via Clapham Junction and either get a cab from there or the bus to avoid central London Alternatively 3 hours by bus only Or a couple of hours by bike, I have cycled there a few times including illegally going through the tunnel as it is so bike unfriendly.
    • I think it's unfair to say anyone local enquiring, is the same rubbernecking.  The link you posted is for drivers, and those there, not involved, at an incident, and in particular people who photograph and video accidents.  This is not the same.  We all want to know what is happening in our area, particularly if it's about safety.  Isn't that what this forum is for?  I hope the girl and the biker are okay.  
    • Saturday afternoons can be quite busy around London, especially on routes leading to Heathrow. Travel time really depends on where you’re coming from, but traffic on the M25 and surrounding roads can add delays. To avoid stress, many people find that booking a London Airport Taxi is the best option. Professional drivers monitor traffic in real time, choose the fastest routes, and allow extra time when needed, which is especially helpful on weekends. It’s a more reliable and comfortable way to get to Heathrow compared to driving yourself or relying on public transport. Hope that helps 👍
