Title: The start of a saga
Post by: Nick on September 15, 2008, 10:32:20 AM
1. I need to get some information out of a Council
2. I call the "Helpline"
3. Yes, they say, e mail Tracey@etc
4. I say is that Tracy or Tracey?
5. Dunno
6. I try Tracy
7. Bounce back
8. I resend to Tracey
9. So far nothing
10. I wait for the next obstacle.
11. Why are our publically funded public servants so obtuse? It is her job to tell me this stuff!  cussing:
12. I am now consulting the terms of the Freedom of Information Act (just in case, like)
13. And wearing my lucky T shirt! evil:

"Your Grace" or "M'Lud" will do

I recently had a form that I had submitted returned because I had not filled in the box marked "Title".
I rang to explain to Gupta that I do not have a title and therefore had left that box blank.
"But you must have a title"
"No, I am not a peer of the realm, I have not been knighted and I am not a Doctor"
"Then you must be a Mr"
"No ~ Mr is an honourary title bestowed upon one as a mark of respect. I would not dream of calling myself Mr ~ That is for others to do."
"I am not understanding"
"No ~ and I don't suppose you ever will"

If there is one thing guaranteed to get my back up it is some arse calling himself Mister.

It is obvious to anyone that a man is not Mrs nor Miss and, if his voice has broken he is not Master therefore Mister it has to be.

She probably saw the Captain Calamty alerts come flashing up as soon as she entered your name into the computer and was too scared to do anything but get rid of you ASAP.  point:

Not for me, but perhaps TMR would care for one.
