Not at all Unc ~ as stated elsewhere I turned it down when it was offered for "Services to the Community" a little over a year ago. The approach to guage one's receptiveness usually comes via the Constituency Office and, if you indicate that you would be inclined to accept, your name is put forward. Lot's of tapping of noses (Del Boy fashion) with these Nu Labour b@st@rds and talk of "Rewarding Community Service" and promises of visits to Number 10 etc. They actually seemed quite surprised when I told them where to put it.
