'Lord' titles etc £19.95? Are they worth it?
Discussion
One of my friends acquired a title, he was able to queue jump for concert seats, restaurant bookings, match tickets etc by mentioning his title.
He managed to get backstage access to pop concerts, so much so that my wife and daughter were on first name terms with bands like S Club 7 at the height of their success.
Best of all were the airline upgrades, business up to first class without asking for instance.
The downside, having the mickey ripped at every opportunity by mates who knew him before his elevation to the aristocracy, he's pretty thick skinned though and just let it roll off his back.
Best of all he was actually a chauffeur, meaning a poor Lord was driving a wealthy commoner around in a Rolls Royce, it's a funny old world sometimes.

There are some brilliant testimonials on that website:

Throughout my lifetime - I have been “plagued” with the burdening question - who am I? This, in and of itself, has always struck me as odd, because who I am is supposed to be the person I see every morning in the mirror. Right? Wrong! An unknown genetic heritage was screaming to be discovered. Now, through the miracle of Genetic testing this is possible. At last, I know that I am not crazy! These high and mighty feelings I have harbored my entire life are not just the results of maniacal daydreaming fantasies.

Earlier this year (2008) I decided to get involved with genetic testing through Mitochondria DNA. When the results came in at last I had the answer. Now I understand the feelings NOT my own YET my own. As it turns out I am a descendant of Marie Antoinette, and of course of her mother, Empress Maria Theressa - and a slew of other Royals too numerous to name.

Hi there,
I think you might like to follow our latest trip to Georgia. Upgrades are the best part of the title. Gatwick, On the courtesy buggie. "Just a couple of security questions my lord". Referring to my travelling with a Claymore. It was delivered. Before the title I lost a nail file!! Booking the return journey. " We rarely get Royalty through Atlanta Sir", "There are a lot of noisy passengers at the back today I am going to upgrade you, have a nice day!"
Good stuff.
