    You don't think about stuff like that when you're obsessed with dodgy
    right-wing american SF.

    Back in about 72 or 73, when they had one of those UUUC strikes, the
    unwashed were putting up roadblocks to stop people from breaking the
    strike by going to work. My mother was stopped at one of these
    roadblocks. When she told them what her job was[1], they called the
    "captain", who wrote her a pass that would (in theory) get her past any
    roadblock for the duration of the strike.

    The surname begins with M, which pushes the point home.

    Forms of address: (from the BBC News site)
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/uk_politics/a-z_of_parliament/e-g/82149.stm

    During debates in the House, MPs do not refer to each other by name
    but by a number of formal titles according to their status.
    This polite tone is adopted in an attempt to maintain order and good
    humour during debates.

    Most MPs are referred to as `the Honourable Member for...' followed by
    the name of their constituency.

    If the person being addressed is a member of the same party he or she
    is referred to as `my Honourable Friend'.

    If the MP is a practising lawyer he or she is referred to as
    `Honourable and Learned'.

    If a member is a past or present member of the armed forces they may
    be addressed as `Honourable and Gallant', although this is very rarely
    used nowadays.

    `Right Honourable' indicates a member of the Privy Council - normally
    a past or present minister.

    Only in Ulster.

    Anyway, how come I'd formed the idea that your mother was posh? What
    was she doing working down the dole?
