    Assuming there's nobody left who thinks the title holds any value any more which knighthood was the last straw for you?</p>

    For me it would have to be one of those awarded to people for doing nothing more than pursuing self-seeking careers like Sir Alex Ferguson or Sir Philip Green.</p>

    Not that I had any positive feelings about knighthoods anyway, but Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber.

    He got a special honorary one, can't call himself Sir though as he's not British.


    Oh, and Bill Gates got one as well.

    No idea. Definitely not at work, though. Honest.
    Pents. Should never have got one.

    Scaly-skinned buggers. Make my skin crawl.

    I was mainly thinking along the lines of the honorary ones for non-nationals.
