We went out for the day to Shrewsbury.
In a shop an old lady had a child with her. The kid was not naughty but a bit excitable. He nearly bumped in to me. His granny spoke in a very, very broad rural accent: "Oh, do be careful, my dear. You nearly bumped into the Master, then."
Now, that really poleaxed me. I said: "Oh, don't worry! He was perfectly OK!" But I was thinking: "What the %&$£ was that all about?"
I have never been addressed in such a formal way and it did, as I say, poleaxe me! :)
The Master eh? :blink: How odd :o
Have you strange powers or some kind of alter ego Neighboured? :hihi:

:hihi: i reckon she addressed you like that because you are from a younger generation, or maybe she's a witch and know's something that everybody else doesn't ;)
never heard that one, sometimes in Leeds we get watch out you nearly hit the mister or that missus!
in Bedfordshire it was always wacth out for the lady or man.
funny how different areas say differnt things for the same word :)
