*SIR* Eddie Kramer...???
« on: April 28, 2010, 10:28:22 AM »
I'm rather puzzled by this Prosoundweb page:

 http://www.prosoundweb.com/article/adk_endorsed_by_engineer_ sir_eddie_kramer/

I was under the impression that -apart from under only extremely rare circumstances- it would not possible for a South African-born individual to use the title 'Sir' in the united Kingdom... -And South Africa did not recognize dual-nationality prior to 2004.

For comparison, Rudy Giuliani received an honorary knighthood from the queen, but -as a non-British subject from birth- is forbidden from going by the title 'Sir'.

-So I'm confused as to how Eddie is permitted to use the title. -It'can't be legitimate, surely?

He seems the type that may take license with a license.

I'm equally puzzled by Sir Mix-a-Lot's misuse of the title.

Keith,


next time I am having tea with her royal maj I will wait 'til she takes a sip and mention that I was listening to an album produced by SIR Eddie Kramer.

Her reaction will tell us what we need to know.

Why?

When I was a kid I liked the idea of ESQ after my name - until I found out what it meant.

The collective noun...?

A flock of sheep, a herd of cattle, a coven of witches, a murder of crows, a parliament of owls, a pride of lions, a sword of mallards...

A fist of hams, perhaps!

(well, it fits in my case!!!)
