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?
No, I’m not going to announce them ;-) But maybe, if we have a conversation going, I am going to ask him what he thinks about “His Worship”.
So it is just “Mr. Mayor Lindney”, which is fine with me.
That’ll do. They’d have to be a proper stuffed shirt to get their knickers in a twist over any minor lapses in etiquette. Most mayors are just local councilors.
