08:2714077All the Officers at DDC call Councillors "Councillor and their name........Watkins, Walkden, Smith or whatever; I always say "just call me Roger".
I don't think the Councillors ask to be called Councillor whatever.
I guess it must be protocol ?

10:4614093I do not understand why you do not like the word councillor you got voted on the councils as a councillor , so you are a councillor that does not mean you are above the others anything like that, all it means that you have been voted for by the pulbic to service on the council and that is good and to help the town e.t.c. again nothing wrong with that,so if you are a councillor call yourself one I always did and you never know it might just come round again, you call your MP. a M.P. so a councillor is a councillor.

This subject is getting very boring, too much ego and sour grapes
There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".

19:2814269I don't see anything wrong with titles, probably because I don't have any per se. What I have a problem with is people using those titles to treat others as inferior. I will never forget the lesson taught to me and others by our diversity tutor. When describing himself in comparison to others he said "I am better at, not better than" meaning that we are all better at something than someone else (not sure about my talent yet) but that never makes us better than other people.
It's not the man in my life, its the life in my man!!

19:3414270Indeed Steff. Respect for an individual is earned by behaviour and attitudes, not titles or qualifications, no matter who they are.
