What's in a name?
I think it was Shakespeare who maintained that "A
rose by any other name would smell as sweet". But have you
ever fancied getting a better table in a restaurant or preferential
treatment at the hotel like I have? Ever wondered why every old
Tom, Dick or Harry seems to acquire honours come the New Year whereas
your hard work and contributions to the well-being, culture and
prosperity of the nation go unnoticed? Now you can get that recognition
and grandeur that you always wanted and deserved. I spoke to Andrew
at www.elitetitles.co.uk
to find out how a humble serf such as I could become an esteemed
Knight. Read on......

The Titles "Lord and Lady" conjure up a medieval image
of a castle or at very least, a country "pile". You do
not need a manor house these days… If you fancy a little of
the gentry lifestyle or improved service and respect from the people
that a Titled person comes into contact with, particularly when
travelling …. You need a Title. There are a number of ways
to join this "club" and it need not cost a fortune.
Digger: How do I obtain a Title from you?
Andrew: We offer two services – one with land and one
without. The Elite Title, without land, means you can become "Sir
Digger Barnes" or "Lord Digger Barnes", for example.
The Seated Title is similar but comes with a token plot of land.
Digger: How does the Seated Title work, Andrew?
Andrew: We transfer to you a token plot of land along with
the Title of your choice. Your Title, along with the place name
you give to your land is shown on the resultant Land Registry Certificate.
Thus you might become "Lord Digger Barnes of Westminster",
for example.
Digger: In my case, that would be appropriate as I was actually
born in Westminster. St. George's hospital, you understand, not
the Houses of Parliament! Okay, so you say I can have a plot of
land… but how do I know I really own it?
Andrew: Her Majesty's Land Registry issue one type of land ownership
document – a Land Registry Certificate, which guarantees ownership…
and that is what you would receive.
Digger: Sorry to sound cynical - The land is real enough…
but is the Title?
Andrew: It depends on what you mean by "real". Clearly
the Title does not come from the Sovereign and you would not be
able to sit in the House of Lords but it is "real" in
as much as you can legally use your Title and indeed, have it displayed
upon your Driving Licence and Passport, as well as personal and
legal documents.
Digger: How would you justify spending hard-earned money on a name?
Andrew: People have been known to spend literally millions courting
favour with the powers that be, hoping that they might be given
a Title as a result…. They presumably feel that the potential
benefits of having a Title is worth the cost. Indeed a Sunday Times
journalist said that having a Title opens restaurant doors. In any
event, paying the mortgage, rates or tax on the car is clearly a
necessity whereas enjoying a pleasant meal out or buying a new TV
set is not…. And so this could be considered a waste of money
but I'd say the money we waste is the money we enjoy. Life is too
short. Have some fun!
Digger: Thanks Andrew. How much would Lord Digger Barnes
of Carnaby Street and the King's Road cost me?.............
