"Sir" by others, first name by peers and the three bosses above me.

People still use that? I would've thought that was just in the forces?
That's reminded me. I've talked about ex-coworkers and current party comrades/colleagues, I completely forgot about council officers. Unless they know me well, and even then always in public, they call me Councillor {surname}. Some of the more old school departmental directors would never consider calling even an elected member they knew well by their first name, it's either Cllr or Cllr {surname}. Others are more relaxed and use your name when you are engaged in day to day operations, but not so in meetings or official events.
Also, not exactly what the thread's about, but no matter:P Y'know there are still some of us in the Labour movement who use 'comrade' as a term of address from time to time.
