  Interesting one there Maggie about "Mr Mayor". There have been quite a few women as Mayor's now, at least three off the top of my head Diane Smallwood, Jan Tranter, Lynn Young too I believe,..I remember when I first went to photograph them I was informed by your one and only brother Mikey Webb town clerk himself, that the correct way to address any female mayor was "MR Mayor". I thought this was odd at the time but as Im a foreigner and the system here is riddled with protocol, just ask Sue Nicholas about protocol, I just assumed it to be a traditional thing.
  
  I am unaware if the women themselves ever objected to the term. But the time might have arrived for a change on this one....although Mrs Mayor doesnt seem to have the same ring to it.
