Point taken councillor.


Not a councillor since 2014. I'm just a pensioner these days.


So, under the UK tradition you do not retain the title after your term
in office?

US tradition is slightly more familiar to me. Certain titles,
President, Congressman, Judge, remain with the holder after his term

Strictly speaking there are five living men who should be addressed as
"Mr President". Of, course only one of them is currently serving his
term.


Not UK usage at all, I think. There may be exceptions but I doubt any are
on-topic for this newsgroup.
