‘clients’ or ‘customers’ seems to be the correct terms around here at the moment.
before that it was ‘service users’ but somebody (not a service user me thinks) decided it might offend people as the ‘user’ part might, just might make some people think of drug users.
our ‘customers’ are called ‘residents’ here, cos thats what they are 🙂 but its very easy to slip up and refer to them as ‘patients’.
binners, i appreciate your explanation, thank you. may your penis be long and bountyful. for the record my table manners are horrendous, i once put my elbows on the table and used the steak knife for non-steak cutting.
EDIT – 40DD, your tea is one letter away from vaginas.
