All I know is my Dad got an OBE many years ago and I was proud as punch that he did, even though I've not really got much of a clue what it was for beyond the fact he was involved in the UN's resolutions on the International Law of the Sea back in the day. He popped his clogs in February but left me his OBE in his will. Hats off to Sir Dad. Jezza
