The mysterious selection of the chosen ones yet again. Political 'friends', sports and arts people and those simply doing their job with a few well deserving ordinary people to make up the numbers.
A shame Kent's young Tony Hudgell was not recognised for raising well over a million pounds for the hospital that saved his life but I guess he is just too young.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Yes Jan I agree
Political parties make nominations and even our own MP
I recall someone in the 5 a side league who got an MBE upon investigation he was proposed by G Prosser the MP at the time.
The guy getting the gong , wasn't liked in his village ,
The 5 a side league didn't like him
He hadn't done half the time of people who had dedicated 40 years to the youth .
So it seemed a strange one to pick out.
It would have lost our Gwyn more votes than he thought he would gain .
