Friend of mine got one for ‘Services To Road Safety’. His firm is the one which carries out 90% of the Speed Awareness and Drink Awareness training for UK Constabularies.

No apology necessary! Mine were a bit like my Tesco points vouchers, I would get a very nice letter telling me I was getting something, and by the way, offering me the chance to refuse it, I was a bloody squaddie no chance, not allowed! Then the next letter would really piss me off! It would be my Tesco vouchers, having spent about 30 grand on bloody petrol, I would get about £7.50 in vouchers, and the bastards would not even let me buy bloody fags and lottery tickets!! (Fag is a cigarette for our American friends),

Still buy fags but not lottery tickets! Living in Switzerland I would probably find out as a non national I was not allowed to win anyway!!!

I know for a fact that the lazy sod spent the whole forty years stealing or skiving!!

He's got a letter from the f*cking Queen too - bastard has it in a frame on the living room wall and points it out to anyone who visits.

Told me he went to the local Cenotaph on Armistice Day just so he could wear the medal!!!

If he had that version and wore it, I am surprised he told you about it, it would have raised a huge laugh though, it is the female version!!!!!

Well, even the mass murderer Henry Kissinger got a Noble peace price. let's just say that price is not to be take so serious.

To the rest of the world, this American apologizes for the brain-dead carrot who headed our recent delegation to the G7 conference.

I believe Prince Edward does the same.

I tend to just look at facts....

Just a couple I have come across
The EU has 10% tariff on imported US cars; the US has 2.5% tariffs on EU cars.
The EU has $55bn trade surplus with the US; Canada has $12bn trade surplus with the US.

I know which side I would rather be on in a "trade war".
