Henry, I am honoured to be thus honoured! And in such august company. And how clever of you to know my middle name; like Morse, I usually keep it secret...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations John Compton OBE
ReplyDeletePhew...I thought you were going to tell the story of when I pretended to be an OBE to get preferential treatment at a hotel. Needless to say it all went horribly wrong with rather embarrassing consequences. Now I can legitimately put OBE after my name. Its going to be a good year....magic!!
