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 It seems to happen in the ex-military, Military rule used to be, don't know if it still is, that retired officer's of the rank of Major and above[1] could retain the use of the title as an honorary rank in retirement.
