Who says though the Mayor has to be male.

When the mayor is female the mayoress is known as the mayors consort.

Re: New Lady Mayoress

Sorry but 'ess' means female so to call a bloke the mayoress would be as stupid as calling you Mr

Read the Obby before making daft comments like that Neil. No hint of lesbianism there, just mates for years .:rolleyes:

I will read it if they have managed to print it to a worthwhile standard this week. That paper has the the worst print quality ever, the colour registration is terrible and the paper is always dirty looking.

Good job you don't live in Cambridge.

Cambridge gets transsexual mayor, partner - Europe - MSNBC.com

As for Hyndburn, it isn't the first time we've had a female Mayor and consort, and I doubt it will be the last.

Good luck to them both.

Yes i know jaysay - if you look above 4 posts you will see i said when the mayor is female the mayoress is known as the mayors consort.

It was just the way Neil was going on - seeing as we dont bother when we have a female mayor - we must be more forward thinking on this side of the hill!!! :D:D:D

Re: New Lady Mayoress

If an elected Mayor/Mayoress is unmarried are they just allowed to choose a friend to be their consort? Are there any requirements that this friend would have to meet? :confused:

Re: New Lady Mayoress

Yes thats the case Lily they pick a friend or relative to be their mayoress or consort. I think the person has to be able to follow the same conditions as being a councillor.

I should hope so, Shillelagh. It wouldn't be right if just anyone could do it.

I know that Sue is giving up running the pub for the year to concentrate on her duties and she is really looking forward to the role.
