As a kid we called all.our elderly neighbours Mr or Mrs Smith etc...

We knew no different, all my mates were the same on the estate to their neighbours...

I over use "mate" now to be honest, its a go to for me when I should be using names more..

I honestly don’t think we really ever addressed our elders. Lol! Never really had cause to. Maybe I forget. 

Teachers were Mr and Miss. Family friends were addressed by their first name.

It sounds like we have found my problem.

Correction, teachers were sir and miss. But it just seems like it was the only time I’d ever talk to adults in a formal setting.

Always called my mam and dad by their first names growing up, only time they call me or my brothers by our birth names is if we's in trouble there's lots of lads who I've knocked about with for yrs..  I couldn't tell you their real name other than their nickname

My mate calls his mum and Dad by their first names, so do both his brothers...

He says it started out as Daddy John and Mummy Colleen then ended as just John and Colleen..

I've always found it a bit strange, but each to their own

Brew instead of cup of tea.

We lived in a cul de sac at the far end of the estate, their was 4 elderly couples and one elderly woman around the "frying pan"...I never once called any of them by their first name.. always Mr and Mrs Cook, Mr Bingham etc...

Even though we had an unconventional childhood both my parents were really strict on me and my brother with manners, it was drummed into us how we should act, talk etc...and respect for elders was certainly quite high on that list.... I guess addressing them as Mr and Mrs etc was deemed as good manners/respect and was how it was..

Yeah what I mean is we never spoke to the neighbours in a way that required it. Lol. Kids just didn’t. Not that I remember. Other than ‘hello’ or ‘excuse me, can I get my ball back please’. If the adult was a family friend, ie socialising with us then we would be in first names.

Yeah got you... 

We only knew them by the surnames, my mum or Dad would only refer to them as Mr or Mrs....

So thats all we knew, my mum is a hairdresser, well retired really, but she has a few old lady customers and she still refers to them by their surname..so she'll say "I done Mrs Jones hair on Tuesday".... etc...its just how it is I guess .
