@mashton for the leader!
I will accept my role grudgingly bit with stoicism.
Actually, if/when Ms Mashton becomes a judge, she will be given the title Lady but I will not become a Sir. It only happens the other way round.
A furthering of the crass sexism that @worncleat mentioned.

A friend of mine is married to a judge and she became Lady Penelope. #csb

Technically she'd be a Dame (the female equivalent to a knighthood) rather than a Lady. If Mrs Mashton made it all the way to the Supreme Court she'd be referred to as Lady Mashton but that's now merely a courtesy title as judges of the Supreme Court are not given peerages, unlike judges in the old HoL who were awarded peerages on their appointment.
