Arent you moving to France so why give a **** what you call her unless you think she can deport you and you would like to return some time in the future.

What about some Yorkshire

"Ah'm reet pleesed ta meet tha Pet."

Do you mean YOU don't know?

"y'alreeeet pet?'

I'm missing your point. The only other time I've dealt with a Parliamentary Secretary I just called him {firstname}. But he was a Liberal and not a female.

We got on really well.

Grand plan. I'll add "d'yer fancy a shag?".

Should break the ice nicely.

I'm sure with your charming wit and reparte she'll just hand you over a credit card and tell you to have at 'er.

I'd tend to agree with the others who know what they are talking about "Ms Whateveritis" just sounds polite :)

Re: How do you formally address...
 

"Ms" also has the advantage of winding up certain kinds of right wing woman who see it as political correctness gone mad.

Is she francophone or anglophone?

And are you part of the whole 'innovation' type thing?
