Love your address by the wayYes, without question
Some commonwealth countries allow knighthoods but not all.Is Bolt british?
According to Wikipedia, Barbados did not have their own honours system when we gave a knighthood to Sobers. Jamaica has it's own honours system. It would be colonial to give him a British honour for his achievements representing Jamaica.
June 2006 (when he was knighted) was a different time, wasn't it? Beckham's true colours showed. I like his wife more and more, oddly.The honours system has been devalued by giving a knighthood to that crook Phillip Green. I did enjoy it though when Beckham didn't get when he thought he was so deserving and called them a load of cucking funts.
