I agree the Victoria Beckham one is ridiculous on the face of it.

I would not pass judgement until I know why she got it. Perhaps you lot could tell me.

For services to fashion, apparently.

Meanwhile Lynn Faulds Wood declines an MBE. Reasons for which are perhaps best reserved for its own thread.

Its been rumoured David Beckham may be up for a knighthood.
When the Queen says kneel he'll say 'no, its David ma'am'.

For putting her name to some clothes which have been designed by some lackie in a factory in China.

Is that true? or have you just made it up.

Which shows you can even use a refusal to do a bit of posturing.
Mind, she's right.

I big well done to both Ken and Andy. And well done to Lynn Faulds Wood for sticking to her principles and turning it down. The honours system is an outdated custom.

Not that I will ever get one that is for sure, but it brings obvious pleasure to many so I feel it is basically a good thing.
