I don't agree with the honours system anyway. They give them out like sweets these days anyway. Who remembers Sean Connery whinging every year until he got one? (and he doesn't even want to be British).
If anyone deserved one, it was Bob. I signed the petition in honour of him, but I didn't believe in the cause. It is of no benefit to him 11 years after his death, and the people that mattered know special he was -sir or no sir.
