Our Merv's being knighted. We'll have to call him Sir Mervyn from now on.
Bank of England governor Mervyn King, a key figure steering the UK through its economic woes, has been knighted in the Queen's birthday honours list.

I personally know two people in this year's birthday honours list. I'm hoping that that bodes well for me in next year's list.0

He deserves it. He has successfully done his job 4% of the time.
This time next year (there is a 4% chance) we will all be talking about how sharply inflation has fallen.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -

Made me think of the 6 degrees of seperation thing.
That said, you know them but have you achieved or given the same as them?
If the answer is no, then I doubt we'll be seeing Sir Cleaver in next years honours (no offence):wall:

Some men you just can't reach.
