Tacky, a bit of a laugh or any real benefits?

Thinking of getting my Dad one for his birthday for a laugh just wondered if anyone else has done similar?

There was a Post man I knew who called himself LORD SEFTON.

I think it was a nickname. TBH.

biggrin would you actually use it though?

I would quite like one just so the bank would have to address me as "lord"...

So you get to buy a square foot of land for 30 quid? Plus, essentially, the 'right' to call yourself a landowner. Bargain.

Can you actually use the title?

Would it help in real life, say for blaggin an upgrade.

I could become a REAL Lord, not just an internet one.

Yep, I got my parents one for their Wedding Anniversary, so they can call themselves Laird and Lady... I don't think they do, nor have they got the bank details etc.. It's probably sat in a drawer somewhere.

BUT, I think it's rather good all the same...

Erm, I thought the deal was that you only get to call yourself 'lord' when you're actually on your land - which is a bit crap if you have 1 square foot :P Actually, I think when you do these deals (in England) you are actually getting a 'lord of the manor' title which does NOT give you the right to call yourself 'lord' wink

I thought you mean't gone down down to the palace of Westminster and bought one. It seems they are for sale, if you believe the news.

bloke in my parents village did this, bought himself a title relating to the village somehow, then bought a 5 acre field opposite my parents house and tried to use the title to persuade the council to give him planning permission for a castle (seriously, it had castellated towers etc on the submitted plans...)

Fortunately the council saw him as the sad wker he was and told him to F off, much like everyone else in the village.

if you own a house, doesn't that make you a Lord anyway?
