I am ordering a few seeds online.  The DT Brown seed catalogue has the most magnificent range of Salutations to add to your name I have ever seen!

Countesses can order seed, but not Counts. 

I was strongly tempted to choose 'The' but didn't in the end.  Who knows, maybe they check this stuff.  Maybe it's got to be the same as what's on your credit card.

That is quite the list! But just 'The'? Not "The Hon" I'm now curious about the use case for "The"...

I suspect that it is meant for titles. "The Viscount Wossname", "The Duke of Whatever" etc.

You may be onto something there... forgot the UK has all the titles to work with.

*works secrets*

Specsavers actually has a long list of possible titles on our database, it's just that we don't use them very often. As a result, at our branch we tend to use them for staff records, as a combined joke and making them stand out. When I realised one of the possible titles was Cannon(sic) I had to adopt that one.

Well, we don't have Counts in the UK. The male equivalent of Countess is Earl. (Though I couldn't see Earl on the list either, FWIW.)

I recall that back when I registered at Sussex University the form had "Rear Admiral" of all things as an option (though I don't think it had "Admiral"?). I wonder how often that got picked?
