If you were in charge of the New Years honours list who would you single out to receive an honour and why?

I would nominate Dr Merton Seigleman.
He is the man who founded the Hospice on Park Lee Road.
When I was a Student Nurse working at the Royal Infirmary, he was a Consultant Anaesthetist...he came to do lectures for us and I remember him as a very gentle, kind and compassionate man.
I know that the founding of the hospice has made a great impact on the lives of people and families in our locality....and he would be my nomination.

People like that are proper deserving of n honour in my book.;)
 
I would rather nominate the arsehole of the year.
There would be a hell of a lot of contenders for that title.
Retlaw.
 
I don't wish to debase this thread, nor to go off-thread, but I was infuriated to hear last year that a scarecrow had been awarded am MBE - for being oustanding in his field.
 
Yes, Max....my Ma was awarded the British Empire Medal for services to the community....though if I am honest, I think she should have had putty medal long before that for keeping us rumbustious lot in some kind of order :)

Bob......go and stand in the corner. That was a terrible joke!
I thought you were going to have come up with some local person who you felt deserved an accolade.

So thats what you've been up to, found your right niche at last. :theband:

Retlaw
 
I did once look at nominating someone, but was put off by the amount of support needed from others. I think that Ken Hargreaves already has a gong. but if not I would nominate him.

Ken Hargreaves already has the M.B.E.. would you want to re-nominate him for presiding over the mass destruction of the industry in Accrington and the North West by his Government?
 
.....and delighted to see Alex Crawford of Sky News getting the OBE. Her bravery in reporting the war in Libya was incredible.
