Rear Admiral

I booked a flight with BA today and been very, very impressed with the list of titles you can choose from…

I couldn’t decide between Air Vice Marshal to Sultan so I went with simply The Hon Mr.

    Their mad! :) Asi, have you started paying attention to the title you are given since you obtained your PhD?

    I felt like going for Monsignuor when given the option. That or Wing Commander. It was close:)

    Brilliantly funny!
    Titles are odd things, we say that we don’t care but I remember a long time ago working at the Gap on my year off and serving two women both of whom had credit cards with the title “Lady…” on it. The titles made me look at them in a different way - curious? impressed? Not sure why I cared, but I did.

    Thanks you guys…

    Rafa, I’m still struggling with that so I only use it when I contest a parking penalties….enjoy Barcelona and the road trip mate!

    Charles - indeed close competition…choice is incredible!

    Amelia - thanks for your visit. Apparently titles have a powerful symbolic influence…..indeed we say we don’t care but they have the power to make us look at people in a completely different manner…that’s totally natural but it’s important to at least be reflective about it…
