Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

What about the Masonic Royal Order of Scotland? Captmac and I are not Masons, but we know folks who belong to the Royal Order of Scotland and actually sign their checks "Lord" or "Lady." and claim that when they go to Scotland, they get the honor of being referred to as such.
I have been curious if this is correct, and would welcome edification on it.
Thank you

Lets see £29.95 per Sq ft = £1.2 million per acer approx. The only conservation that is done by them is to their Bank Balance.
Not sure how my post implied a defense of the folks who sell stuff like that, It certainly is not. It was more of a comment about how some folks on this forum tend to react to anything on these subjects.
But I would hope that the folks that buy that into it don't take it seriously! I'm sure some do, but it's probably too late to help them!
As has been observed, most folks take this idea as tongue in cheek, and are pretty unlikely to ever visit their "property", or try to assert their 'privilege' !
People spend more money on dumber stuff than that every day, and I can't see making a big deal out of it, unless one just resents others having a laugh, or making a buck.

No No, I wasent saying you were defending them at all!
Some folks may well take it as tongue in cheek, however as a Scot I find it pretty degrading & insulting to our history & heritage not to mention what little title system we have left in Scotland. That's the problem with this scam, most people think its harmless.

I am with you one hundred percent on this and the far more important task of "outing" the more serious bogus title holders too, but I will have no truck with this cloak and dagger idea that appears to be the style of the "goodies" on the website mentioned above.
Alright, openly discussing tactics and strategy is a distinctly unwise course to take, but we are not talking MI5 here and not openly declaring who is involved is to my mind, unacceptable and lays the whole idea open to justified criticism.
For me, I shall continue just openly laughing at these poor deluded souls, most of whom appear, to me at least, to pick some damn stupid titles!!
On a lighter note, I did the sum too and I can think of one or two acres that would fit the bill a treat!
