If Sir Les Patterson is the cultural ambassador for Australia, why not Sir Ken Dodd as Liverpool's?! Sign up to get Doddy knighted!

Quote:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to consider as The City of Liverpool becomes the Capital of Culture in 2008. He recognises the efforts Mr. Ken Dodd of Knotty Ash, Liverpool - Comedian by recommeding him to Her Majesty Queen for a Knighthood. Ken Dodd is comedian of over 50 years standing. He is a Son of Liverpool - Born and bred there and still living in the family home in Knotty Ash. Throughout his time in the entertainment industry he has done considerable work on behalf of various Charities. As Liverpool becomes European Capital of Culture in 2008 what more fitting tribute than to see one of its most famous Sons being Knighted.

From yesterday's Times:

Quote:

It seems that Sir Mick Jagger has signed a No 10 petition calling for a knighthood for Ken Dodd. And yet, on the petition for Ringo Starrâ€™s knighthood, nothing. Get it together, Sir Mick.

From today's Times:

Quote:

Alas, Sir Mick Jagger has not, in fact, signed a Downing Street petition calling for a knighthood for Ken Dodd (as we reported yesterday). The Rolling Stones singerâ€™s PR tells us: â€œMick has a healthy respect for Ken Doddâ€™s humour but has not signed a petition pushing for his elevation to Sir Doddy. It is an imposter or another Mick Jagger.â€ Still, nice to know that the real one is reading People. Mick, you donâ€™t appear to have signed up to the Ringo Starr campaign yet, either. Whatâ€™s keeping you?

Ah well, at least Doddy's got more support than Rafa!:laugh:

Ex-Prime Minister Edward (Ted) Heath?!

Ex-Norwich City, Blackburn Rovers, Chelsea, Celtic, Birmingham City, Aston Villa & England striker Chris Sutton?!

And Sarah Dodd, surely a relation?
