As there are, I think, no awards to groups of people (the George Medal to Malta is the only exception I can think of) then I don't think the wording of this makes a lot of sense. |

The person who started it really should spell The Guv'nor's name correctly.

I totally agree. Or follow this procedure with the individuals concerned if you feel that strongly about it.. http://www.honours.gov.uk/nominate.aspx |

There's so many of them for stuff like this it's more like a bit of Internet fun than anything serious. |

sorry, i'm all for a bit of fun, but this sort of fun makes a mockery of the important issues that would be largely overlooked if it weren't for petitions.

Of course the likes of Swarb and Ashley should get honours (if we have to put up with such an outdated system). But this ain't the way to go about it.

I think this petition is a waste of time and the wrong way of going about getting "our boys" an award anyway.

Cor, lummy, sense of humour failures? Lighten up folks - as if Mr Bean is going to take note of ANY of the petitions which appear on the No. 10 website? It's just another way of them entertaining the masses and keeping the populace quiet while Rome burns - and Government websites cost everyone in the UK £60 a head - well worth while!!
