Thread Name: SIR Bob Geldof ? ?
Subject: RE: SIR Bob Geldof ? ?
Oh well ! Wrong again ! But at least HM could have had the decency to title him "Sir Robert" and not "Sir Bob" ?? Likewise Sir Reginald Dwight ( Elton John ) and Sir Harry Webb (Cliff Richard ); so much more civilised,don't you think??

Incidentally, on the subject of titles, my partner's great-great grandfather was an "Honorary Custos" in Westmoreland, Jamaica ; he gradually came to assume the title "The Hon ", and he even claimed to be armigerous ,as we have his "coat of arms" , but then we have the "pigtail" of another ancestor,Captain Philip Leyson, supposed to have been "shot off" in a battle with French pirates , BUT ; pinches of salt all round, I think !!
