Do you have to be old and rich to be Knighted?

Not necessarily. A knighthood actually doesn't mean much nowadays, if it ever did. Maybe it does mean something to the recipient but that doesn't impress me. Cheesy

I have to agree I'm not impressed!
But that will be my next goal, as soon as I fly a real DC3 I'm going on to be Knighted.
AH! Sir Jeff, has a nice ring too it.

As an American you can receive an honorary knighthood. In the depths of my marble I seem to remember that Ronald Reagan received one. I'm not sure this entitles you to be addressed as Sir. Roll Eyes

Personally I'd love a knighthood, just to get up the collective nose of my family Grin Oh and so I could finally put up with students addressing me as "Sir" without feeling so old Grin Grin Grin

DARN
I get addressed as SIR all the time!!!!!

Do you think it could be my short round stature,  lack of hair on pointy head (of course GOD only made so many perfect heads...the rest he put hair on)LOL AND the way I converse...(by the time I say goodmorning...its good afternoon)?????

Cheers .....Doug

Sorry Hagar but I'm afraid I'm going to start another one!!

Can a woman be Knighted? and if so how would you address her?

The female equivilant of a Knighthood is called a Damehood. You would address the lady as Dame....
A good example of this is Dame Judy Dench (she is most well known these days for playing 'M' in the Brosnan Bond movies) she is addressed as Dame Judy 8)

The whole thing has to be irrelevant in todays world .... like a silly & almost comical relic from the past  Roll Eyes

If I met one of these bozos - like a 'Lord' or 'sir' there is no way I would call the idiot by his silly assed title  Grin

Of course Pete if I was to gain a knighthood I wouldn't expect my friends to address me as sir Wink (as if any would ever show me that much respect Tongue Grin) Just certain members of my family, and a couple of twerps I know who I'd enjoy patronising even more than usual Grin

It does have a certain ring to it don't you think? Cheesy

I very much doubt it. He might be a tad miffed that he didn't get one too. He doesn't seem the sort of chap to let that or anything else bother him much. Wink

Yeah I don't think we'll ever hear Keith calling Mick, Sir.
But does being Knighted come with perks?
No taxes, 10% discounts at your favorite store, Free coffee at McDonalds?
As far as I'm concerned I get the best of everything without being Knighted!  I get it here at SIMV!!
And you don't have to call me Sir!

There must be some benefit or they wouldn't all be so keen on getting one of these "honours. Don't ask me what that might be though. My old chief engineer was once made a Freeman of the Ciy of London & was presented with token keys to the city. He wouldn't tell me what this honour was for but apparently one of the benefits is that he is now entitled to herd his sheep across some bridge or other in London whenever he wishes. Not that he ever kept a sheep for whatever purpose - or ever visits London. LOL Grin

Well that would definitely make me work hard for it.
I've always needed a way to get my sheep across a bridge, my back can't handle carrying them anymore! LOL!
You know it won't be long before the "sheep" jokes come rolling in!!
