    Well Done

    You're the reason that I am able to save money and I try to give this back by charitable donations so that more people can benefit.

    You thoroughly deserve this

    About time!!!! Well done Martin - its good to see someone who truly deserves it get an award of this calibre, rather than a 'sporting celebrity' which is where they,sadly, seem to go these days.
    Thankyou to you, and all of your team, and all of the contributors to the site, who regularly help lots of people, myself included, whether with debt, or just saving a bit of money on the weekly shop or a big purchase.

    Get real people, Martin makes a mint out of you. This man is the real hero who deserves your respect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Sutton.

    There again he didn't tell you what coupons to use to save a few quid on Sky TV or get 2 for 1 on some washing powder.

    First of all thank you Guy and the rest of the team for such lovely words in the news story. I didn't know you were going to write it and I'm moved by its contents, and honoured to lead such a talented team.

    And thank you for all the kind wishes here in the forum too. I've known for a month, but the letter has a warning from the government that you mustn't tell anyone

    It was only on reading peoples comments and reactions its really sunk in what a huge honour it is to be recognised by your country. I'm both proud and emotional about it - and want to say thank you so much to everyone for your support.

    Martin
    Well done Martin. :beer: :T

    Now that was worth coming off your break to comment on !

    He's been honoured anyway.

    Don't be nasty & drag thread down.
  • Unbelievably well deserved. I'd much rather see these honours go to people who actually do something real in the world, rather than people who win a race or some other sporting competition.


    Martin has done a lot to help others, and good luck to him if he's managed to make money out of doing that. I will be forever grateful for all I have learned from him and this forum and will always be interested to hear what he has to say.
