Lopéz said:Can't stand being called "sir", nobody knighted me as far as I'm aware. I'd far rather mate. I also call lots of people at work mate, and when our agent support bail me out without an admin charge I'd been known to tell them I love them (a la Scott Mills)
I always used to call the lorry drivers at work mate until I knew their name (or if I forgot it) just to be friendly. Can't say I'd take offence at someone calling me mate either, I'm not that far up my own rectum.SiriusB said:You, sir, have a point. I think we would all rather mate.

Ok Sir, they have repaired the phone by flashing the software, this means they have updated the system on the phone, and they have also replaced the flux capacitor. I couldn't believe it when he said that, i nearly wet myself lol
I love my job
