I’m invited to a gala dinner hosted by our mayor for the mayor and some council members of our twinned town in the UK. As I will have some talk to both the British mayor and the council members, what are the correct terms to respectfully address them in their ranks and functions?

    I recommend “oi cunt”.

    Nice try. I’ll reserve this for after the meeting, or at least when I got a good (or more precisely bad) enough impression of them :-)

    Seriously though, mayors and councillors aren’t really high enough in the pecking order to have special terms in the UK

    Ah, OK. That could be the reason why I found nothing so far. I was just cautious, as British officials seem to be peculiar when it comes to ranks and titles. Better safe than sorry.

    Thanks!
