Needed: advise

Looks like I found the right website for my request. Have been laughing my heart out for 3 days reading all the good stuff posted here. Good Job!

For all the guys AND girls controllers:

We are operating out of a French colony somewhere on the dark continent of Africa. So the best RT you get is pigeon French and IF it is your lucky day, pigeon English....

We are looking for a approriate reply to all male controllers here in the tower of my home base that keep addressing our female pilots as "sir" where it' clearly a female voice they are talking to (BTW they are not always F/O's..

Obvious they are trying to be polite but they don't seem to understand that "sir" is NOT the correct translation for "Ma'am" in French....

Any suggestions??
One more note: it is our homebase and we don't want to p..ss them off.
"There are there to please us and it keeps the cleaners happy...."

Will post results..
