As a Brit, I find it weird that Opticians and dentists expect to be called Dr. ZI don't know if the whiole scene has changes since Ileft, though. In the main, I find Brits far less formal. Far fewer children refer to their friends parents as Mr/Mrs Whatever.

I still find it really weird when kids who know my name will say "yes ma'am" when I ask them to do something and they're not being funny.
