Its useful that the "No, Sir" appropriate way to address someone thread has seemingly merged with the "Freedom day poll", as the attached photo was sent to me by a mate (an actual mate, as opposed to me calling most of you 'mate':)) ) in Australia...and seems to be appropriate for both threads....

Oh no - supposed to be gender neutral

An Aussie guy I met was going off to Plymouth to meet his ?reli?s?


On his return he said ?Strewth, they all speak like pirates down there?


So hearing ?Maid? as an address to a person kinda fits


Very nice

    • Labour was right not to increase fuel duty - it's not just motorists it affects, but goods transport. Fuel goes up, inflation goes up. Inflation will go up now anyway, and growth will stagnate, because businesses will pass the employee NIC hikes onto customers.  I think farms should be exempt from the 20% IHT. I don't know any rich famers, only ones who work their fingers to the bone. But it's in their blood and taking that, often multi-generation, legacy out of the family is heart-breaking. Many work to such low yields, and yet they'll often still bring a lamb to the vet, even if the fees are more than the lamb's life (or death) is worth. Food security should be made a top priority in this country. And, even tho the tax is only for farms over £1m, that's probably not much when you add it all up. I think every incentive should be given to young people who want to take up the mantle.
