George C Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Thank you Bridiem. That is more or less what I expected. I regret that approaching my 89th birthday I really don’t think that I have the energy - it’s as much as I can do to get to performances ! Perhaps someone younger might volunteer but I suspect that you are right and that his leaving will be the event that will stimulate someone ‘high up’ to make a move. I just feel so sad that it will probably not happen while he is still Mr.BRB. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very much hoping that it will. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do others think? I would say that we're not mind-readers, and I don't suppose most of us have any idea of what he thinks about the subject. Certainly I don't. I would have said that a knighthood was merited, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I have no idea how these things are done, but might Birmingham City Council be able to put his name forward? In which case an email to the leader of the City Council might be worth pursuing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
