Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Mo Farah was awarded a CBE but not the knighthood.

I am disappointed.

A CBE is pretty good. Far too many knighthoods dished out these days when the nobility thing should be dead.

"Why should he have been knighted? "

His charity work, if not the Olympics. Wiggens, Ainslie and Storey were knighted/Dame'd but not Mo Farah or Jessica Ennis.

Quite right, I don't think any sports, or famous person should get an OBE, CBE, MBE or even the KBE. These should be saved for folk that actually do something useful for the country!

A knighthood is the highest honour to be bestowed on someone, winning 2 golds at Olympics doesn't constitute the title of 'Sir', a repeat performance then maybe but not yet

I would think he will be ecstatic with a CBE and who knows what will come his way in the future.

Nobody ought to get any sort of gong for doing what they do for a living.

Fair point but would we have any if that was the case?

Yes. There's lots of folks who have 'worthwhile' jobs who do stuff like being a Scout Leader or running a foodbank or whatever for no financial or prestige reward. they do it just because it contributes to a better life for others.

I dunno how long it took Jimmy Savile to get a Knighthood from Thatcher but I'm sure she reckoned he deserved it.

That's the trouble. It just devalues the award.

And there are people that refuse to accept such national awards and you`ll never hear of them being considered. So just because they haven`t got an OBE or whatever doesn`t mean they haven`t been considered/nominated.

"A knighthood is the highest honour to be bestowed on someone, winning 2 golds at Olympics doesn't constitute the title of 'Sir'"

Dame Kelly Holmes got her title for exactly that.

If you believe they are worth anything in the first place of course.

Exhibit A:

Hector Sants. Head of the Financial Services Authority when the banks almost destroyed our economy. Knighted.

And just been on the news that Ken Livingston has refused an award.
