I did think about having my lad christened as Sir.
I usually work out peoples age by name
peter, brian and colin and bills are all in their 60/70s
All jacks are in their 20 s
Kevins are in their 50s
Alberts in their 80s
Latest names seem to be things like cloud . stardust .seven. india.-or fruits .
