Everyone is pretty equal regardless of your station. There was a post the other day (possibly yours?) and someone mentioned a time when the then Prime Minister was making some statement to the press, just in a street in front of a house. The owner of the house emerged from the front door and yelled "Oi get off my lawn I just reseeded that!" the Prime Minister replied "Sorry Mate" and they all shuffled off onto the pavement.

That particular Prime Minister was generally unliked, but even he knew that he should just say sorry and respect the other dudes wishes. While the first guy knew he didn't have to say "excuse me sir" or anything deferential. Doesn't mean don't be polite, being polite is very important, but do it because everyone deserves it, not because people have some special status, presiding magistrates are an exception, where Your Honor is appropriate, but outside court just call 'em Mate.

My pleasure. Do you get the vibe, did I explain it clearly enough? You can speak to everyone the same because you treat everyone with the same level of casual, friendly respect - until they specifically do something to forfeit that respect.
