Called Machine Mart today (1st time ever).

"Hang on a bit Guvnor", I'll gosee"!

Makes a change from Sir, Mate, Cobber, boss. Uthere and blank, anyway
:-)

I would like to collect the "Oh mighty allseeing one", but not too
optimistic
there.

When I call such places they call me "Sir".

I imagine it's because they're male and they can't imagine that a woman
could have even heard of a widget, much less understand its application. It
amuses me to tell them to call me Madam and hear them grovelling and trying
to excuse themselves.
