buckielugger Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Whilst the honours systems is corruption personified, it's a major puzzle why Usain Bolt has not had the Sir-hood yet. Any clues anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckielugger Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 I sort of read that too. Queen is still queen of jamaica though so presumably their prime minister can nominate Bolt for a knighthood (of course Bolt may himself said no to it). Several cricketers in west indies have been given the honour so mechanism must be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I think the link's been discontinued in many Commonwealth countries eg. Don Bradman and Richard Hadlee from Australia and NZ were knighted but I don't think that would happen now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
