I have a title for Bush. It's not honourary, either. He earned it, fair and square.

Don't know that the following is germaine to this conversation: my grandfather was a Commissionaire working at Dorval Airport when the Queen Mother landed. He stood to attention as she passed. She noticed the medals/ribbons on his chest and stopped to speak with him and shake his hand. She asked about his unit and about him. (He'd fought for England during WWI, at Mons nad Ypres if memory serves.)

I know my grandfather treasured that moment for the rest of his life. I think the English use the word 'chuffed'. Anyway, despite having no great love for the notion of monarchies, the one person my grandfather met from the Royal Family was a gem, and he'd have stood up to anyone about that.
