Bus drivers in Brighton and Hove have been told not to call passengers "babe" or any such familiar terms. But how offensive are they?
Eric Morecambe called his guests "sunshine", Coronation Street's Vera Duckworth used to call anyone and everyone "chuck" - but bus drivers in Brighton are being asked to think twice before they refer to passengers as "babe", "love" or "darling".
According to the Brighton Argus, the Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company received one complaint about the comments being "sexist".
As a result, bosses have asked drivers to refrain from using such terms.
Is it acceptable to call someone 'babe'?
