[steve56]

In the late 60s there was a dairy near where i lived the boss there always called people sir thank you sir hello sir i thought he was being sarcastic i was about 12 i said sir once to him and he didnt like it.

I call people Sir out of respect.

I call my Commanding Officer at work Sir but it is not compulsory to.

I do like the double meaning of the thread title 'sir posts' as Sir 56 is the author and we are discussing calling people Sir

Obviously didn't happen in 1969,your dream year?

I worked with a guy(religious fruitcake aged 40/50) in the early 80s who wouldn't call anyone who was his senior anything other than Sir.

Call someone a squire or chief back and the look is priceless

Regularly repeated on ITV4 now. Bit of a curse on it, as half the cast are dead- and it's a mixture of teachers and pupils.

Squire was used in a TV thing i think was about Headmasters or teachers in the 80s.
