I would turn down any of these signs of oppression sp1814.
Neither would I call Lizzie "ma'am" now any judge 'mi'lord' etc.
pixie374,- "What kind of people would take any notice of a title?
old Bess is still queen in Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu.
I fear you are under not aware of the sheer servile , obsequious conformity that has been conditioned and inculcated into a huge mass of humanity... never seen the Japs, Chinese, Americans..... grovel in glee outside Buckie Place, Changing of the Guards, etc.
Do you realise how many 'Royal' families exist in Europe and beyond.
I would guesstimate 70- 90% on this forum that use News, R&S,Culture etc., would grovel/curtsy at the ex- Saxe-Coburg and Gotha gaze.

If I knew someone, I’d probably know of they’d been enobled.
But I get your point. I was once at a party where I got chatting to a very friendly bloke a few years ago. Later on I found out he was Baron Waheed.
And it DID make me think differently - not of him, but of barons in general.
He was so ‘ordinary’ and engaging that it made me rethink previous assumptions.

(True story: I knew a nob who was promised, if you do this against your better judgement, your profession, your professional values, then you will get a knighthood.
and he did . and did get one as well
and it is true it is true - when I said well don, he replied
"Thank you for NOT saying, I know what you did to get this."

the knighthood was also a sign that the recipient was not destined for the Lords.
wella lodda CBEs think they should have been knighted - evelyn waugh turned one down on this grounds. ( think he was right)
awful lodda knights who thought their work deserved a lordship. - you know where they could go on being a govt supporter....
Sir Donald Irvine - great reformer of the GCM was QUITE sure where he should end his days. so was leddy Irvine....
as a Sir, you dont get reductions and they charge more to boot
