I'm curious...how do people usually address someone in England, then?

[julesie-g.livejournal.com]

Umm. Depends on what the situation is and really what part of England you are from.

Like if you are at school you'd say Miss(Mrs) or Mister.

In my school we call our teachers 'sir' if male and 'miss' if female btw I live in the south

We are both southerners. Awesome. =)
But yeah we do the same.

Woot a southerner but also outside of school we call people mister and miss, It's a bit weird

[julesie-g.livejournal.com]

Really? I don't and I don't know anyone who does.

It's usually excuse me, if you are after their attention. XD

Whereabouts are you? London?

[forenzapari.livejournal.com]

I do the same thing to get people attention i'm from hampshire but it's not that far from london about 40 mins away by car

[julesie-g.livejournal.com]

i was a bit surprised. from UK, and i've heard people use sir and madam. when i worked in a shop we used it for customers and i've heard it quite commonly in similar places (shops/restaurants).

idk about the school thing. i think it depends on the school in particular. we've never said just sir/madam/miss/mister/etc to a teacher, instead their actual name eg. mr ___, dr ____, etc.
in university if we became familiar we addressed them by first name.
