1) Not knowing peoples names

I know a lot of people who have colloquialisms such as in Stoke and Hanley they might call people "duck", round here it's "mate" or "hun", "petal" all these sorts of thing. I certainly don't think it's anything to get wound up about. I just think that it's one of those things that you can't put a stop to. It's up to the OP of whether they say that they would prefer not to be called such things. It's a personal preference, not anything that could be blanketed with a rule as such.
