BIGLIL Â Â 10 #1 Posted November 21, 2015 I've just read an article about Helen Sharman and discovered she is an "OBE" , I am sure that if she had been a man she would have been a Knight. We have numerous actors who are Knights or Dames for pretending to do things , this woman did it for real , I propose a petition to make our local hero a DAME at least . Any supporters ?
