We were told turning a prince into a Mr would take an act of Parliament.
It didn't.
It took a pen.
Why not use another pen to delete all the other archaic titles - king, queen prince, duke, duchess, baronet etc, etc and we could all become citizens, not subjects.

As a fan of strong female characters you would have loved the northern writer/creator of long running Brit soap "Coronation St" who said during a script conference peppered with homophobic remarks "Let me remind you gentlemen without a puff non of you would be in work.."

Doris Ulmann.

Born in New York City, she became interested in photography when training to become a teacher in New York City, while Lewis Hine was an instructor there.

Her photographs of people in Virginia, Kentucky and South Carolina between 1927 and 1934 are her best-known works.

The driver "managed to contact the control
centre at Network Rail and get the train
diverted onto the slow line", Calder says.


"That was absolutely crucial because this
train was scheduled to be travelling through
Huntingdon station on the tracks with no
platform at 125mph."


"It didn't stop in the middle of nowhere,
which would have been very difficult."


Calder thinks this was handled in the "safest
possible way" thanks to the "incredible
professionalism from the driver and the
police". Train drivers are trained on how to
take appropriate action, he adds,
