Member of the Order of the British Empire and Officer of the Order of the British Empire. The OBE is one degree higher than the MBE.

Further to Artemis' answer...

Even though Member in The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) is one degree lower than Officer in The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) within the Order itself, there are in fact two other decorations that fit between them in the order of precedence for orders and decorations awarded by the British Sovereign, namely

Member in The Royal Victorian Order (MVO) and
Imperial Service Order (ISO)

The difference between an M.B.E and an O.B.E.? Is it the letter 'N' ?

[angie26]

Thankyou all very much.

there are some joke definitions but I don't remember them all.

OBE: other b*ggers' efforts
CMG: call me God
KCMG: kindly call me God
GCMG: God calls me God

With the present leadership I would have thought about �20,000. Only as a loan though.
