I prefer to be called by my first name, Mrs makes me feel older than I am , wrong phase because I am old :oops: , so I will say because it sounds much friendlier. :grin:

In this country there are two forms of you.
When you are speaking to someone older you refer to them as U but if they are younger it's you.
Now i hate it when people who look older than me say U to me.It really annoys me to think that they think i look older than them when i don't!!!
I'm sure some people do it on purpose to wind me up!! :cry:
