I went to register at the doctors this morning, it was quite a painful process as I have moved quite a few times and had various doctors (of which I couldn't remember the addresses) so I was feeling a bit uncomfortable and like I was annoying the receptionist.
Anyway I ticked the Ms. box as that is how I generally go by, the receptionist looked at me and asked had I ever been married? I said no and she said, 'but you have ticked Ms', I explained that is the title I generally go by and she looked at me like I was crazy and crossed it out and ticked Miss on my form.
Now I know that I am allowed to use Ms, I know that the whole point is that a women isn't disclosing her marriage status and yet I couldn't say anything.
Now I am kicking myself...so I need clever Mumsnets ladies to tell me I am not going mad and that the lady was being silly......
