      .
      Showing my age again, but is that the Vicki Wickham who was the force behind Ready Steady Go in the 1960s?

      ("The weekend starts here!")

      If so, she had to wait a long time to be recognised.

                  The Three names quoted; no problem there - well-deserved IMHO

                  It's when corporate bosses, bankers and w*****s like that are honoured, that the whole system is devalued and rendered meaningless.

                        On further reflection, the whole thing is rubbish.

                          I'm trying to think what Karl Jenkins did for anything, apart from playing in Soft Machine.

                            I would love to be a fly on the wall when Phil the greek meets the mild mannered and cheery Van the man.......

                            what a load of nonsense it it though.
                            I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                            I am not a number, I am a free man.
