Please somebody correct me if I'm wrong...

- Ain't the disputed Islas Malvinas/Falklands British Overseas Territory (BOT) area the place in the Wold with..., by far..., the highest concentration of Officers of the British Empire (OBE's)...?

I Think them Brutish Tturnips are telling porkies..., when they say their Empire is dead and buried...

Ridiculous - honours for a population no bigger than a small neighbourhood in a British city.

Pytangua.
It is for merit, and not based on numbers of people .
Think: The Empire is gone; I don't know anyone who thinks that it isn't except you. I agree that the title of the award should be changed simpy because no-one gets excited over an archaic term, but that doesn't detract from the recognition for hard work.
I saw the empire depart and was involved in several independance celebrations
That presented some sadness among many, for some reason, but it is a good thing that it did.
Now there is the Commonwealth, which has volunteers, not compulsion.
