  Why not carbon offset for trains, Richard? Some trains in the UK are so poor that, with the loads they carry, a car with four people in it is more carbon effecient that doing the same journey by train.

  If you book for something in the US, you also get a suffix, which is for entries such as “the third” “Jr” and so on.

  The whole point of public transport is passing the railways by, innit?

  If you’d selected [other] do you get a free-text entry box? That’d be fun.

  e.g. Most Mighty Uberlord Richard Grant

  If not, would your name appear as [Other] Richard Grant?

  I wonder why the need to be so specific, I’d expect this sort of thing from a public sector company but even my local council website more moderate ;)

  Those are the most common ones, though I like that Dr is first.

  You should see the database that I use at work, it has a lovely dropdown for Title – everything from Rear Admiral to His Excellency.

  This reminds me of a faux news item on The Two Ronnies which went something like:

  the Annual General Meeting of the organization known as the Lords of the Universe has had to be postponed because their leader, the Grand Master and Absolute Ruler of All Living Things, couldn’t come, because his wife wouldn’t let him.

  Only in England…

  How many lords and ladies do you reckon ever take public transport? I can’t exactly see them clamoring for tickets to share a carriage with the likes of Richard Grant.

  One day I’ll be in famous and then you’ll be sorry you ever said that, Dr Rohn.
