SomersetClive understands that Squire Teflon has had a minor meltdown this Yuletide after learning that he is not to be honoured by Her Majesty Queen Victoria III in this year’s New Year Honours List.

The Honours Committee has confirmed that managing to stay on the greasy pole, in absence of any achievement during a near 30 year reign of indifference does not meet the required criteria.
Local resident Jan Popoff commented to SomersetClive’s trusty reporter “I suppose an OBE would fit. As it stands for ‘Other Bugger’s Efforts’’.
