I was online today looking to book tickets for a ballet. Not a complicated kind of thing. Right? I figured out what price I was willing to pay, what seats I wanted, went to confirm those seats and the next thing I know I have to register with the theater to purchase the tickets online.
No problem. I can register. It just means I'll receive a few mailings about various art events in town. Not a big deal.
So I go to choose my title -- as in Miss, Ms., or Mr. -- and look at the selection that pops up:
The Rt Hon Mrs
The Rt Hon Lord & Lady
The Rt Hon Lord
The Hon Lord & Lady
The Hon Lord
The Hon Dame
The Hon
Sir & Lady
Sir
Reverend
Professor Sir
Prof & Mrs
Prof & Mr
Prof & Dr

Ms
Mrs & Ms

Mr & Mrs

What a selection of potential titles! I was debating between the 'Right Honorable Lord and Lady' title or simply the 'Honorable Dame' but then I just settled for Sir & Lady.
Only in Great Britain.

How fun! I think I would have gone with Right Honorable Lord and Lady - hey you only live once, might as well be as a Right Honorable Lord and Lady!! Enjoy the show!
That list is hilarious! What marvy choices...I think I would go by a different title each time just to add some flair to life! cheers!
