Last week the RCVS decided that vets can now call themselves "Dr" if they wish. Don't get me started on what a pointless ego stroking waste of funds I think this is. The main point is - I was against it, in an eye-rolling "it's not very British" sort of fashion.
Today I was in a supermarket, and I was waylaid by a chirpy young man with an ipad who was doing a survey about all sorts of seemingly unrelated things. I think the main drive was to get your details so they can cold call you. Anyway, he was being annoyingly cheerful whilst I was feeling slightly put upon, and so when he said - "Is it Miss or Mrs?" I heard myself say "It's Doctor."
"Right, of course Doctor, sorry" he said.
Everyone loves a good power trip, but in half a second I turned into the very sort of arsehole I had been complaining about. It will be interesting to see how this pans out!
