Perhaps the next step is to drop the whole "yes Sir* no Sir* three bags full Sir*" on a daily basis and just get on with the job in hand, reserving the compliments for the parade square or formal correspondence? Imagine the time saved each meeting or morning met brief without all the "Sir's, Ma'ams, ladies and lieges, fellow Mess members, honoured guests, chosen ones et al" and welcomed "
everyone" instead
