Obviously an Aubergine
I hate being called 'Sir', last time I looked nae fecker had knighted me, there's no need for these spurious 'honorific' titles from 'mate' to 'Love' or 'Sir' I find it generally patronising at best to insulting at worst.
Although I will admit to @mudsticks that I do tend to call women 'Gell' as in "Y'allright Gell" when I see a female friend.
Ahem..
It's 'madam' to you,
we'll have less of such familiarity.
Standards dear boy, standards.

If I get annoyed with being overly 'Loved' by unreconstructed guys I might sometimes return with 'Petal'
'Sweet-cheeks'
or a 'Darling' or two of my own.
Either in my best Celia Johnson, or channelling Sid James..
Depending on mood.

Once we're north of the Pennines however they can love and pet me all they like, as I can do it right back.
