The Right Honourable John Prescott MP

I send my cordial compliments to the Right Honourable John Prescott MP for services to Croquet. Would it be presumptuous to suggest that the British Croquet Association nominate Mr Prescott for an MBE for such beneficial services? I always knew the man had at least one worthy cause to his name.

Croquet is a game that I have always enjoyed playing. An old school pal of mine had a croquet lawn at Tranfield Hall, near Guiseley, where I stayed thirty-one summers ago; and I've bashed a croquet ball or two at Kensington House, now sadly demolished.

Never let it be said that his lordship hasn't had a good word, literally, to utter about Prescott.
