So very true but sadly they wish they did as Britain had power in those days and was mighty enough not to be pushed around (though the got a black eye or two). The medals and titles are to boost the ego of some and also let others dream of what they missed. Personally I would get rid of them as we as a modern country and society dont need them. They are a gimmic at the end of the day, but would keep Owd Lizzie as she has her uses.
