I don't use any titles - membership databases that I've created don't have a title field. I'm 'Phil' to everyone.

I registered online for a technical exhibition and had to complete the 'Title' field. For once, I could type it in (where I can't I go for 'Ms'), so I typed 'None'.

It was a good talking point at the exhibition, as people read my name tab - 'None Phil Holland'! A friend said that next time I should put 'The', but that would be against my philosophy - I would use 'A'.
