Comment on Correct term to address a mayor and council members from the UK?

8f you are announcing them:
- Lord Mayor: The Right Worshipful Mayor Jo/e Bloggs
- Mayor: His/Her Worship Mayor Jo/e Bloggs
Speaking to them:
- Lord Mayor: Lord Mayor
- Mayor: Mr/Madam Mayor
Councillor either way: Councillor Bloggs.
At which point they’ll look suitably embarrassed and say “just call me Jo/e”

No, I’m not going to announce them ;-) But maybe, if we have a conversation going, I am going to ask him what he thinks about “His Worship”.
So it is just “Mr. Mayor Lindney”, which is fine with me.

That’ll do. They’d have to be a proper stuffed shirt to get their knickers in a twist over any minor lapses in etiquette. Most mayors are just local councilors.
