    Look, why doesn't everybody who wants to, just call themselves Lord or Lady? Though a fiver is a good deal cheaper than various governments (of both the main parties) were charging in previous years. As I am a republican I will not be taking up this offer.

    Thanks to OP for this. Have ordered one for the FIL for his birthday. Should cause a few giggles.

    I bought these 'titles' as presents a couple of years ago from Play.com. It comes in a nice presentation pack with a map, photo's of the area and plot number. In fact you own a square foot of land in a pretty remote place.I don't think that you can access the very spot, but can visit the surrounding area. I think all the land is in Scotland and you can legally be known as 'laird or lady' while you are there.You can print the title certificate yourself or send it off post free and they will do it for you. It is a lovely novelty item.

    No thats a different thing, thats Laird of Lochaber or Lord of Lochaber. you get land in scotland with that. This is sealand where you dont get any land, but you get a title bestowed on you as they have declared themselves a country in their own right! its all on wikipedia

    Thanks OP, brilliant find, always struggling for something for Fathers Day. This will make a lovely "joke" addition.

    Cheers

    If you make a donation to the Labour Party you may get a Lordship - quite a few people have in the past.
    I know it might not sound very money saving at first but according to recent reports you can then claim an allowance for every night you are in London. You seem to be able to get up to £165 back a night back without too many questions. Seems a better long term investment (and you get free upgrades on aircraft and trains). I'm just not totally convinced by the outfits though....
    You can't go wrong with carpet bombing...
