A list published of people who spurned a trip to the Palace.

Be honest.Would you turn a Knighthood down,were it bestowed.Would you kindly decline by letter,or remain silent?...or set out looking for a hat?

Probably. It means nothing to me in terms of who does and doesn't have them. Although I would quite like being called 'lady', is that what would happen if I had a knighthood, I would be Lady China Doll? That has a nice ring to it...
Dame isnt it....?
Lady Lottie Lofty - yes sounds nice.

But seriously, yes I would turn it down. I don't like formalities and pomp and splendour. I prefer being a rough old commoner!!
I would certainly decline the offer. There are plenty of other rogues who enjoy the "privilege".
Yes, you are right DT

Dame Lofty Lottie doesn't sound right

I would be a Lady if I was married to Lord Lofty!!
If a bloke becomes a Lord then his wife becomes a Lady. What does a man become when his wife becomes a Dame?
Question Author
he he Euphemia...would you be the rogue that bent the Queen"s sword? ;-)
He becomes nothing.
That then is sexist Mark!!
Noblesse oblige.
It should be changed so that a female becomes a Lady and her husband can call himself Lord. I shall raise a complaint ;o). Equal rights and all that.
Sir Nessie of Loch Ness sounds fine by me !
Perhaps he becomes a "Damsel" or Damson"?
i've been called Lady muck a few times

but no thanks
Are all Lords Knights. When you are knighted you become a Sir or a Dame. Can you become a Lord without being a Sir.
I'll go for Baron von DTC.
Yes you can...Chris Patten or Wille Whitelaw for example.
What do you have to do to become a Lord then?

I am so ignorant!!
