Karlton 582 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 We don't hear of people being addressed as sir these days, or tipping yer cap. I was thinking about my roofing days in the late fifties and sixties, an architect would come along to see how the roof he designed was taking shape, he'd be greeted by a handshake and a "good morning Sir." many times this would happen with my other workmates. A lot of respect appears to have sadly faded away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 An elderly chap "Doffed" his hat to Mrs Catfan a couple of weeks ago ! Sadly a custom that is dying out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I notice in the cop shows...in the States 'Sir' is the most common form of address. Over here it's mate, buddy, pal....anything but Sir...unless it's a bloke in a suit with a posh car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
