ZLF 275 Posted December 29, 2012 agreed - can see an OBE for that - has given much back to t he local community. beyond that no - not yet; hux may be in years to come? where are people on the Mo knighthood debate?

TIL 1010 4,801 Posted December 29, 2012 Sir Micheal Wynn Jones certainly does have a ring about it. It looks and sounds much better than say Michael Wynn Jones MBE,CBE,OBE.Being the modest man that he is i am certain he would never use letters after his name.

drurys testamonials V 15 0 Posted December 29, 2012 2 things 1 Dobber Sheepshanks got an award I see 2 I would be very worried about seeing a doctor or dentist if they had no letters after their name. They have earned them and display them to show they are qualified to practice in their field of expertise. That has nothing to do with modesty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,645 Posted December 30, 2012 Are we talking proper doctors? Or just quacks.... Sir Michael Wynn Jones certainly does roll off the tongue. As Lapp says, our true saviour who carried on spending his own money while ungrateful fans gave him dogs abuse on here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drurys testamonials V 15 0 Posted December 30, 2012 All doctors are proper doctors according to their PhD. I think you mean proper doctors as medical doctors which is implied by association with dentists Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,645 Posted December 30, 2012 To be honest this doctor malarkey is wide of the mark because you can''t be made a doctor in the honours list. Anyway, Dr Michael Wynn Jones or Michael Wynn Jones BSc PhD DipEM doesn''t carry the same gravitas as Sir Michael Wynn Jones. Gong For Wynnie (our true saviour).
