Anyone stupid enough to whinge about the name of an award needs a slap.

And that applies to before and after the change.

Sort of did. "Most Excellent Order of the British Empire" so it's just a bit of rewording now.

all these awards are named silly and have no relevance today. The nepotism involved in their award annoys me even more
