Or Viscount Somerville of Usability, as he shall henceforth be known. I think MySociety should do a people’s peers service where we can nominate people and anyone with more than say 100,000 votes can adopt their own title “by acclamation” and change their name (eg Lord Transformation of Government, or Lord Sensible).

We could ask Posh and Becks actually to pin the medals.

I’m afraid Liz isn’t the first. King Carl Gustav of Sweden has five. In Swedish, admittedly. But you didn’t specify language. 🙂

Reminds me of the Queencam that was proposed when the Royal Web site went live – attach a webcam to the Queen, so we can see Britain as she travels around.

Five is just showing off. I thought our Queen was supposed to have a far bigger budget, jewels etc than the Swedish posse.
