Would you accept a knighthood/MBE/OBE/CBR?

Only if I can challenge other knights of the realm to a duel and claim Pippa Middleton as my prize.

There's no more room in my downstairs lav for anymore awards, so I'd have to say no

Nope.  Not unless I could sell it for charity or something.

A question for those who may know: at what point is a knighthood legal? I rather fancy accepting in writing then changing my mind during the ceremony just prior to the whole kneeling sword nonsense.

Given that there will then be a member of the Royal Family holding a sharp pointy object a few inches from your face, I suspect that might not be a great idea.

Ask Ed Sheeran…

Shock news! A bunch of people who will never do anything in their lifetime that would earn them an honour are saying they wouldn't accept one!   

Bit of an assumption, isn't it You might never do anything in your lifetime but the rest of us might have other plans.

An assumption, no, a safe bet, yes.

Depends why.
I think it's nuts that sportspeople get honours whilst still playing. But I also think it's nice to recognise the efforts of some people who work tirelessly for the good of the community.
