Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders were both offered OBEs in 2001, and decided against taking them. |

in Wales the head of the Welsh Ambulance Service received an award - unbelievable - the waiting times are horrendous - ambulances queuing outside A & E for hours - when my son was knocked unconscious and kicked in the head a few weeks back it took the ambulance two hours to get to him and he was only about a mile from the hospital!! and then it was a private ambulance |

It always amazes me that people are "Honoured" for doing their jobs. I don't find Lennie Henry very funny, and he tells jokes that he wouldn't get away with if he were white. |

Lenny's jokes are very PC these days, not sure what you mean, Bob. It was given to him for his tireless charity work. |

A bonus is usually an award for achievement -- over and above a recognised standard. |
