AlanHo Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 There is no point in awarding him a medal - he would refuse it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 This illustrates the point that I made in another thread, stating that the whole business of honours is feudal, and should be scrapped. Why on earth does anyone in the government think that a man deserves a so called honour because he is the boss of a knicker company? I'm glad he turned it down. Lets drop this whole archaic charade once and for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
