"I once said to one guy who introduced himself with a bunch of airs and graces as AVM XYZ Retd, get over it mate, you are a Mister now. "
LOL! I once introduced myself to a guy thus:
Hi, I'm sorry, I dont know you who you are?
I'm Wg Cdr Blogg you can call me "Wg Cdr"
Nice to meet you. I'm Mister Rigga - you can call me "Mister Rigga".
I do have a couple of jangly things but don't tend to wear them much (except for the missus).
