Orbinc O asked:
I have noticed that it seems common for Police to refer to young men as ‘Fella’ (this applies for innocent members of the public too), even outside the London area. I find this pretty rude and disrespectful and am sure they are not allowed to do this. What does the book say they should call you? I wager ‘Fella’ isn’t there.

They used to address me as “Oi you” or sometimes “You in particular”. Now they usually address me as “Sir” but I’m not sure how they are spelling that.

What is it with the influx of snowflakes posting in here who are offended by the slightest thing. They want to go out and commit crimes, but when the cop calls him “fella,” suddenly his civil rights have been violated. The stuff I see in here never ceases to amaze me.

I prefer to be addressed as “your lordship” or “mister fabulous”.
I do not wish to be addressed as “fella”, that is simply too common.
