Default It isn't fair. How about posthumous knighthood for Eric Hiscock.

I hadn't even _heard_ of Hiscock. The name "Wanderer" to me means Frank
Dye.

But when I looked on my shelves last night to see who got knighted the
first thing I saw was "My Lively Lady". By SIR Alec Rose. No racer he.

I got knighted mostly because I'm vastly more accomplished than the majority
of humanity.
