Just booking our honeymoon. On the day of flying I'll be Mrs so I put that down as my title and he said I should put miss because I am

I'm guessing the travel agent

NeedsAsockamnesty · 26/05/2015 15:49

Who may or may not be known as Dave

Moln · 26/05/2015 15:50

Or Rupert Montgomery III

I'm sure no-one except possibly the OP will mind if I derail the thread somewhat, but can someone explain the MoneySupermarket ad to me?

Everytime it comes on DP and I make Confused faces at each other. I get that it makes you watch because you want to know where it is going, but how is a man dancing along a street in tight pants and high heels 'soooo MoneySupermarket' and what does that mean anyway?

I often use MoneySupermarket to look for prices on insurance etc but am simply baffled by the advert.

off now to find out what all the dinosaur references are about.

Is Dave ( or Steve) available for hire.

He could make a party go with a swing.

Moln · 26/05/2015 15:52

I just thought, it might even be the man at the bus stop the other night. He had a lot of opinions. Don't know his name though, sorry.

OnIlkley Dave feels so absolutely freaking fantastic that he doesn't GAF (not a single F) and struts down the streets in his hotpants. He feels this fantastic because he has saved himself some money by using money super market. Also Sharon Osbourne.

Previous incarnations of the campaign included a man who wanted to run with tigers!! But he lives in a rural area with no tigers. But it's okay, he runs with the cat instead. Yes.

Moln · 26/05/2015 16:06

Is the man running with cats Steve? Because if it's Steve from Accounts he's been lying to me about having an allergy to cats. Well unless they aren't his cats and he took an anti histamine (non drowsy one) before the run.

I might phone him and ask.

honeyroar · 26/05/2015 16:16

Doreyblue this is quite a boring thread compared to what you've made up before. Please try harder.

OnIlkleyMoorBahTwat · 26/05/2015 16:19

Thanks Adele, I think I get it now.

Dave, Steve or whoever he is looks like Karl Pilkington and I thought it was him when I first saw the advert.

Number3cometome · 26/05/2015 16:20

I notice the OP hasn't denied any living under the bridge activities as of yet.

whooshbangprettycolours · 26/05/2015 16:29

I think the title you use is irrelevant. I have a friend who flew to the states as 'Lady' and no one said anything!

whooshbangprettycolours · 26/05/2015 16:30

Oh it's totally moved on Grin

YsabellStoHelit · 26/05/2015 16:34

You can change passports before travelling I believe (although I didn't for years as mine was a relatively new passport and when you update they only give you 9 months extra on a new passport so sod loosing all that money to have the right name)

The MRS won't matter but you may have issues if passport and other details don't match. For hotel though I would say go for it and book in married name. They won't care. It's passport/flights which HAVE to match exactly.

honeyroar · 26/05/2015 16:36

It has Whoosh!

Although you wouldn't be allowed to get on a plane now to the states with the wrong title. All you details are checked when you fill in and pay for the ESTA online and fill in the advanced passenger information nowadays.

RagstheInvincible · 26/05/2015 16:39

Previous incarnations of the campaign included a man who wanted to run with tigers!! But he lives in a rural area with no tigers.

DW and I grew up where they shot that ad. When it first came on we both reckoned he'd be safer with the tigers than in some of those streets on a Sat. night.

AyeAmarok · 26/05/2015 18:11

Who cares? Pick what you like. If border control don't let you travel because it doesn't match your passport then oh well, at least everyone will know you aren't one of those awful unmarried women, which is the most important thing, eh.

StarlightMcKenzee · 26/05/2015 18:16

I ordered a passport in my married name before I got married. The courier wouldn't give it to me because I couldn't prove I was the person named in the passport Hmm

Moln · 26/05/2015 18:31

AyeAmarok 'Who cares?' if Mrs OP and Dave/Steve/Bear/ Rupert Montgomery III get detained in a dark dank dungeon you make regret that lackidasial attitude I tell you.

Married ladies deserve more respect...

DareGreatly · 26/05/2015 19:05

DoreyBlue I don't mean to be rude, but why so impatient to be 'Mrs'? You've (presumably) got the rest of your life to be Mrs. Can't you hold your horses for one booking? Is it that exciting? It seems ever so slightly childish this impatient demanding to use Mrs.

I'm married and I don't even use Mrs but then I'm a fuddy duddy and don't really understand why women should have to declare their marital status whereas men don't, but that's another story/thread

DareGreatly · 26/05/2015 19:11

Exactly aye Wink

TidyDancer · 26/05/2015 19:18

I don't understand why this matters? Is it a status thing? (Do people really think being Mrs soandso attracts more status than being Miss soandso?!)

I couldn't be arsed to make work for myself tbh.

FoodieToo · 26/05/2015 19:27

Why would anyone ever want to be called Mrs??

I find that really odd. It brings to mind an image of an elderly woman with rollers.

It's so sexist too. Awful stuff .

drbonnieblossman · 26/05/2015 19:53

When I married I couldn't wait to become Mrs, as though it was a badge of honour. As I've become older, I realise it's not important to me and if I were to ever re-marry then I wouldn't be a Mrs again.

But I don't see anything wrong with it. It's just tradition, no-one dies because they change or don't change their marital status. And it doesn't mean you turn into a 1950s housewife, some people enjoy tradition more than others.
