Well done to John Surtees, honoured with an OBE at last. The only man to have been world champion on bikes and in cars. 7 times world motorcycle champion and F1 world champion for Ferrari in 1964. But why does it take so long and why is he not Sir John Surtees? He does a massive amount for charity.

The system needs some consistency after 'Dame' Kelly Holmes gets her gong before she's caught her breath!...'Big John' (a true legend) had to wait 44 years for his..

Well deserved indeed.

Kelly Holmes et al probably get theirs quicker because in our media run world the government want to be seen to be making popular choices to increase their own popularity. People who have dropped off the front pages and those that do good works in relative obscurity are further down the totem pole.
