Member of the British Empire and Commander of the British Empire

and OBE is order of the british empire.


when they were set up, Lloyd george asked his minion, how much can we get for an OBE ? and I think the minion - Maundy Gregory, who was later convicted of selling honours - said a hundred quid.


One old bat I congratulated on her OBE said, Oh my father in Curacao - its a place as well as a drink - used to say it stood for Other Bu**ers' Efforts, and I said, Oh my grandfather in Bombay in 1925 used to say exactly the same thing!'

Hi snuggy, Your question reminds me of the alternative definition for 'The Order of St.Michael & St.George'


CMG : 'Call Me God' - (Companions)


KCMG : 'Kindly Call Me God' - (Knight Commander)


GCMG : 'God Calls Me God' - (Grand Cross)
