Sir and Lord are not the same title

[FabulousBakerGirl]

so why is Sir Alan Sugar being called Lord Sugar?

[Tinker]

Because he's been given a peerage today.

[FabulousBakerGirl]

Oh goodness. How did I miss that?

My BIL is going to PHSL.

[giantkatestacks]

he has to have the peerage to take up the new job...

[callalilies]

So he can't be called 'suralan' any more then? Shame!

[Tinker]

Will he be Lordsugar?

[giantkatestacks]

lordalan sounds like a cheap clothes emporium so maybe that will work...

[JimmyMcNulty]

Can't believe he's been made a lord! Still, Caligula made his horse a senator so I suppose there's precedent.

oh ffs he's already a tosser with a massive ego, this is the last thing we need, insteaf of 'siralan' he will insist on 'lordsiralan'.

[squeaver]

Yes next year they'll all have to all him Lord Sugar. You know he'll insist on it.

[JimmyMcNulty]

Surely 'TsarAlan'?

[TheFallenMadonna]

ROFL at TsarAlan

Lord Sugar sounds a bit silly. Cartoon-ish.
