Hasn't he already got a title? He is Sir Mark Thatcher. He inherited his father's baronetcy, which Denis got for services to the distilling industry and being a millionaire.
I know 3 people with Honours, all Civil Servants. One was a lady I worked with in Durham who got the MBE for the charity work she did, one was one of our Inspectors - I don't know why he got his OBE but he was a lovely man, and the other was our Big Boss who got the OBE last time around for being, amongst other things, a Lt. Colonel in the TA and a magistrate. I suppose people like them deserve some reward but I don't like the way entertainers get it, almost as a matter of course, when they've been around a bit. I read in the paper today that Bruce Forsythe was a bit miffed he only got the MBE and wasn't made Sir Bruce - the arrogant ******.
