Do you have to be old and rich to be Knighted?

Not necessarily. A knighthood actually doesn't mean much nowadays, if it ever did. Maybe it does mean something to the recipient but that doesn't impress me.

I have to agree I'm not impressed!
But that will be my next goal, as soon as I fly a real DC3 I'm going on to be Knighted.
AH! Sir Jeff, has a nice ring too it.

As an American you can receive an honorary knighthood. In the depths of my marble I seem to remember that Ronald Reagan received one. I'm not sure this entitles you to be addressed as Sir.

But Hagar, don't you think you get a kick out of being knighted? :D
Sir Hagar....

P.S. I don't watch much of the news and that sort, but I heard that Richards left the Stones because Jagger got Knighted....Is isn't true is it?

Personally I'd love a knighthood, just to get up the collective nose of my family
Oh and so I could finally put up with students addressing me as "Sir" without feeling so old

DARN
I get addressed as SIR all the time!!!!!
Do you think it could be my short round stature, lack of hair on pointy head (of course GOD only made so many perfect heads...the rest he put hair on)LOL AND the way I converse...(by the time I say goodmorning...its good afternoon)?????
Cheers .....Doug

Sorry Hagar but I'm afraid I'm going to start another one!!
Can a woman be Knighted? and if so how would you address her?

The female equivilant of a Knighthood is called a Damehood. You would address the lady as Dame....
A good example of this is Dame Judy Dench (she is most well known these days for playing 'M' in the Brosnan Bond movies) she is addressed as Dame Judy

The whole thing has to be irrelevant in todays world .... like a silly & almost comical relic from the past ::)
If I met one of these bozos - like a 'Lord' or 'sir' there is no way I would call the idiot by his silly assed title ;D

Of course Pete if I was to gain a knighthood I wouldn't expect my friends to address me as sir
(as if any would ever show me that much respect
) Just certain members of my family, and a couple of twerps I know who I'd enjoy patronising even more than usual
