It's beautiful Barrer you're heading to for that, isn't it? Better get that local pronunciation right before you get there!

Gulp, local pronounciation?? They're not gonna understand my accent....

That's really sweet- like meeting a partner's parents and not sure whether to call them "Mr and Mrs Smith" or "John and Angie".

(I made those names up)

Or bumping into school teacher's years later... do you still call him Mr Fisher or call him Alec now that you are all grown up?

Hmm, thats a good one, a professor in my university used to get his prescriptions from my pharmacy on a regular basis and I always called him Prof X...(the X is to protect his identity lol)

Do you have an Aunt or Uncle who arent actually your aunt or uncle? (For example one of your mums friends) when you grow up they insist you call them by their name but you're sooo used to calling them Aunty Jezebel that just Jezebel doesnt sound right My point is, sometimes you need to be invited to call someone a less formal name

I find I always address people of my generation by their first names, however people of my parent's generation and older I tend to use their title and surname!

Fortunately as a Lord, almost everyone I meet ranks lower than me in the social hierarchy and so I can just call them 'peasant'.

Unless I'm chatting to the queen of course, and then I just call her Betty.

Surely you don't even grace us with acknowledgment, bothering to say 'peasant' to us gives us ideas above our station that we have been noticed by a Lord....

HA! Bless ya Amethyst, I've never been treated with so much formality! Just Fleur is fine by me - we're on a first name basis here (apart from the Lord, of course ...)

Don't worry, I'm slightly teasing here. According to my mate from Whitehaven, Barrow is known as 'Barrer' in the local dialect, even though to everyone else in the country it's clearly 'Barrow' (and I've been there several time and never heard anyone pronounce it that way). Then again, this is the same county that pronounces water as 'watter', so I guess anything goes ...
