I know this goes against the grain but it seems to be get a gold medal, get an OBE/CBE/MBE etc.
I'm pleased they got recognised for what they've acheived but as in the Olympics when Rebecca Addlington was interviewed and the other swimmer (forgotten who) came behind her saying "Dame Rebecca". It just pi$$ed me off.
The interview with Eleanor Simmonds on TV this morning, she was saying that when she won her gold would she have an OBE etc because she was only 13 (at the time).
For the people who do charity work, the guy who restored a church, Chris Hoy's mother for her work on sleep-related illnesses, YES these deserve them.
Apologies if this annoys anyone out there, it's just my opinion.
