The clue was in the words " WILL NEVER " ....................your talking about 30 years ago im talking about in the future.......30 years ago white people were winning the 5,000 and 10,000 m........................not now and never will again.

 

Paula Radcliffe? Marathon world record.

Soldiers are recognised by various medals. The Victoria cross being the military gold do to speak. Sure no squaddie would want a knight hood anyway. It's more a celebrity gesture nowadays., lost its true meaning many years ago

Chris Hoy or Redgrave, Pinsent etc.....never asked to be knighted. I think the London Olympics motto is spot on tbh "Inspire a generation!"

 

My 5 & 6 yr old have been glued to these Games saying they're going to try this sport and that, if these Games can instill some pride and belief in my little uns imagine what its doing for young sportsmen/women around the country, lets applaud these Games and the stars of them for being truly INSPIRATIONAL !!

 

If every soldier was knighted for serving in a war/wars then the acolade would mean feck all, thats why they have militry service medals.

There not getting Knighted for doing good in there profession though mate are they. I can see Stigs point fully. If i'm honest why would anyone want to be a 'Sir'. Couldnt' think of anything worse and if for some strange reason i was to be knighted i'd gracefully decline...
