Mr. Mrs Or ?

How do you like to be undressed?

Sorry, that was a brain fart and a subconscious admission that I am just burdened with a mucky mind.

No, what I meant to say was how do you like to be addressed?

You know what I mean, mister or missus or the appallingly clunky 'mizz'?

Frankly, one of the most depressing moments I had recently came when a young fella referred to me as 'Mr O'Doherty'.

Now, the only times I had ever been called 'Mr' before was by sarcastic school teachers, usually when they were handing me a detention or suspension or something like that.

But when that kid referred to me like that I knew what I have now become -- old.

It's a rather sobering thought to realise that young people now look at me as just another wrinkly old codger, but at least people who live in Brighton won't have to shoulder that terrible burden.

No, the local council has come to their rescue with a fantastically daft new ruling.

Now, as you know, Brighton is home to one of Britain's largest gay populations -- I do love the fact that when the Brighton footballers score, the tannoy plays 'YMCA' with the fans doing the dance -- and the council is mindful of the scene.

So mindful, indeed, that they are now planning to scrap any mention of either 'Mr' or 'Mrs' because they say it offensive to transgender people.

They then further go on to say that: "Trans people aren't necessarily male or female", which should come as a surprise to them.

What are they?

Pigeons?

They also point out that sometimes "genderqueer" people feel conflicted about using these phrases.

Genderqueer?

God, I've heard it all now.
