Toilet cleaners, charity fund raisers, underground workers, crossing patrol people etc are all worthy of their awards it is the sports people that get them that annoys me, sure there's the odd one that have done a lot to raise the profile of the country but let's be honest more of them are in it for themselves, earning huge amounts of money and sticking 2 fingers up at the people that keep them in a job by paying ridiculous prices to go see a match or buy the latest strip.

Talk about 2 jags with his grace and favour homes OBEs and MBEs are handed out like Eurovision song contest votes to those that have smiled correctly at the right people.

I'd be quite happy to see them scrapped.
