More adventures in titles

[kaberett]

Yes! I found more!

This time I was attempting to book timed entry to the Dinosaurs exhibit at the Natural History Museum, where I am going tomorrow with the Amiable Bowfin. In order to do this, I had to sign up an account with the online museum shop. In order to do that... they have a compulsory title field. The list is:

• -
  
• Mr
  
• Mrs
  
• Ms
  
• Miss
  
• Master
  
• Dr
  
• Professor
  
• Sir
  
• Lord
  
• Reverend
  
• Baroness
  
• Brother
  
• Canon
  
• Captain
  
• Commander
  
• Councillor
  
• Colonel
  
• Eur Ing
  
• Father
  
• Lieutenant
  
• Flight Lieutenant
  
• Lieutenant Colonel
  
• Lieutenant Cdr
  
• Lieutenant Cmdr
  
• Major
  
• Mlle
  
• Madame
  
• Princess
  
• Prof
  
• Group Captain
  
• Lady
  
• Corporal
  
• Lance Corporal
  
• Herr
  
• Honourable Alderman
  
• Reverend Canon
  
• Right Honourable
  
• Right Reverend
  
• Senator
  
• Squadron Leader
  
• Wing Commander

YOU'RE WELCOME.

(Yes, I have e-mailed them about this. Only about "Mx" and "Msc" and the way that when I left the drop-down on the default field - "-" - it had a strop, failing silently and dropping not only my sign-up but my basket on the floor. But, you know, they're easy to contact. Go for it.)

IIRC the BA list has an impressive collection of royal and military titles.

I just booked a hotel - their list had "Sir" but not "Captain". Also, weirdly, "Mr and Mrs" but NO other combination of titles.

Of course *no* drop down list of titles can ever hope to be complete (remembering that some people stack titles); surely it would be *a lot easier* to have a text field for title?

Or, drop-down of the half-dozen-most-used with a separate text field available.

Or free-entry box that suggests the most common (forms of) titles containing the string you've entered so far...
