In fairness sgt didn’t mention the tax bit . he used to live on the IOM , but he nearly sunk it Fatty that is , not SGT...
I was only teasing. Supposedly, Lewis would have received his knighthood earlier but for the “controversy” around his tax affairs. I put controversy in inverted commas because it’s only controversial for some. Anyway, if our Nige didn’t get a knighthood it can only be because of his “controversial” moustache.
In all seriousness , they mean nothing to most . My aunt ( mums twin sister ) got an MBE over 10 years ago for services to the community , she looked after elderly people . Yet these people barely get a mention . Still , such is life , she never went looking for it , she’s just a very kind soul .
I think it’s good that people get recognised whether they are are famous or not. If someone wins an award for their work locally, it may not be noticed by most people, but it might be the only recognition they get and would mean the world to them and those around them I’d imagine.
Reports coming out that Sir Lewis wants a 4 year deal at $50mill but Daimler want 2 years with option on 3rd!!! Guess George is seen as a good cheap option in coming years that would save Merc/Daimler a lot of $$$$ Info here: https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/7592...-yet-signed-a-new-contract-with-mercedes.html Could just be click bait.
But Daimler are nolonger the majority stake holders so its a cross the board. This contract is taking a very long while to complete. Its like brexit
