    So who thinks Tichmarsh will be next?

    Seems to be spending a lot of time crawling around royalty.

    Least with Titchmarsh, he's one of those blokes who you might want to have a pint with down at the local.

    Being Welsh, I am better qualified to discern ENGLISH dialects. Alan Titchmarsh dumped his Yorkshire accent the day his first novel was published. He now speaks ESTUARY.:old::rotfl::rotfl:

    Actually...you could ask what that old fraud Alan Sugar did to first get knighted, then to get enobled...even if it is only a life peer.

    Give me the hereditary peers any day. At least they have a good reason for their titles - one of their ancestors was either a brigand, a mass murderer (led an army into battle against the enemy), supported the king/queen with either money or soldiers...or was the illegitimate son of a king! They're a lot more fun when you meet them as well!
