Re: They must be treated with respect.
 

Have actually heard that hospital staff have been advised to do the same, the difference being if people in hospital want to be addressed as Mr/Mrs/Miss/Master that should be their perogative. So whilst I can see using prisoners first names might be seen as getting chummy why not just use their last surname?

they didn't with me at Burnley General this aft, mind you probably didn't know ive been knighted.:D

Re: They must be treated with respect.
 

Or their number,surname and offence for which they are in prison for.
We in the Army of old had to give: No Rank and name....First name was a no no until you achieved an equivelent rank to your peers.
Sgt Major Britton the Senior Warrant Officer in the British Army once said to a collection of trainee officers:
'You call me Sir....I call you Sir....You mean it...I dont.
Human rights my arse.....Let them spend some time in a military glasshouse for the first twelve months of the sentence and they would think twice about re-offending.

Re: They must be treated with respect.
 

You can't expect to be called Sir when you go into hospital. :eek:

You were lucky not to be called cock. :D

Remember the shameful fuss that woman once kicked up over that? :eek:

Thats the woman who lives (or did) up New Lane with the double barrelled name Lilly, from what I've heard she's half a pork pie short of a picnic. I'm like cashy on this, in hospital they can call me what they want so long as the get me out in one piece, although I have recently had two home visits from medical staff and on each occasion they asked me if they cold call me John. To me its a no brainer, anybody who is prepared to take time to come and look after my interests, in my home for my benefit don't need to ask, I'm just glad they're aking the trouble

Re: They must be treated with respect.
 

I agree with you and Cashy....if I am in hospital they can call me what they want. I'm just grateful for their help.....shame there aren't more like us, eh? :D

Re: They must be treated with respect.
 

Does appear to be a compromise between Christian names, which could have seemed a little over-friendly in the past, and just the surname.

Think a good idea myself .. 'course depends on the inflection of the address, doesn't it. If you emphasis the mr Smith then does come across differently than same level of emphasis on Mr. Smith .. crumbs .. difficult on text .. LOL

I hate the expression 'you guys' when obviously I am not of the male gender, find this extremely insulting.

Oh my goodness Emamum ! How patronising !!.. would at the least given her/him the slit eyed look; at the worst hit her over her/him over the head with an oxygen bottle, depending on the hormone balance at the time. Would possibly asked how 'Nursey-wursey was today' ... :rolleyes:
