Congratulations to Sir Andrew.

Apart from the obvious what does being a knight actually mean to the person...................Do they pay a lower tax rate ?

Congratulations to Sir Andrew.

Apart from the obvious what does being a knight actually mean to the person. For example do they get paid ? Do they get first go at tickets to the Queens Garden Party? Do they pay a lower tax rate ?

What do they do apart from all jousting?

There's a House of Lords is there a House of Knights ? 

I've never known a knight. I did know a Dame once ( drank like a camel ) but I've lost touch and it is not really the same is it !

Does anybody know?
