I also am quite often shocked when I catch sight of myself in a mirror, wondering who that er woman is. Then the other day a mum told her child 'mind the lady'. I looked around for a while wondering who they were talking about - but I was the only other person there.

I asked her to have a second look at the name on the credit card that she still had in her hand (it said Miss) and then at my left hand (no rings) and then why she thought it was appropriate to call me "madam".

Sigh. I retaliated by wearing only leggings, baggy t shirts and pumps for a few days but have gone back to dresses, scarves and, er, brooches.
