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.

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?
