Madame?  That can have some quite different connotations though 😉

I was called Sir

Our female teachers were 'Miss'... and the males 'Sir'...
 I wouldn't call anyone Sir now.. 
I hear it in shops when an assistant is addressing a male customer.. 
I don't know what they call us females though.. 
I bet , under their breath, they have some great names for us..

Does it work !! Who knows..

So it's you is it.   I can smell it from here.  

I have heard this before,  so it will b e interesting to know if it works. 
I imagine you'd have to keep on replacing it though.

Oh bugger.    
I'll go and have a look for their Spam then.

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 11:58:01 AMDo you remember way back when most of the men who visited a home were 'Uncles'.. !!
How come we had 'Uncles' that were not even related to the family..!!
The word uncle now is seldom used .. We call most members if our family by their names..

Yes, that's true.

I don't think we would have been allowed to call adults by their first names in those days, would we.

It's always bugged me why school teachers think they should be called 'Sir,'  too.
I have never called anyone Sir  since I left school, and never would.

Funny when you think about it,  because the female teachers weren't called 'Lady',  so why did the men give themselves  a title??

Oh ! Mups..  You only just missed me sweetheart.. I have just got back..
Spam is not on SPECIAL.. 

We could have had a chat.. 

Well done Scrumps and Klondie.
