MBE for Cav

Nice to see Mark Cavendish gain an MBE recently, along with some other Manx athletes.

"MBEs (Member of the order of the British Empire) have been issued to sports stars Mark Cavendish for services to Britishcycling and David Knight for services to the sport of motorcycling."

Do you think this sort of thing does a good job promoting the values of the Island?

Got to be better than Stuart Baggs, but to be honest I find the whole MBE thing a bit of a joke and kinda out of place in the modern world.
