In the New Years Honours list was my cousin, the champion jockey, Richard Johnson.
Cousin once removed as his father is my real cousin.

Some people have enough luck to follow their vocation. I see absolutely no reason why a person should be honoured for doing so. Most people work just as hard at occupations that are never recognised. We live in a strange society that seems to put celebrity above good honest work at more mundane occupations.
I last saw Richard on Christmas Eve 1984 when I picked up my dearly beloved Welsh Collie [six weeks old who lived till 1997 - a marvellous working sheepdog] and have seen his father once since at a funeral.
Anyone else related to someone famous or notorious?
Best wishes from George
