I work in a shop in oxford and I have lost count of the amount of times I have been called "my duck" by old men ... Its weird if you think about it but who cares- got better things to worry about... as long as im not being called a c u n t im pretty happy.

We had a training sessiona bout this at work not long back. Think its more of a southern thing tho as the trainer was saying how a southern bird had picked him up on it before.
I know before the guy at the chippy said to my mum "Thanks love" as she was leaving and she said she didnt like the term. Although wasnt bad enough to complain just didnt like it.

Any women who doesnt like this can f uc k off as far as im concerned-- its not a negative thing for fuks sake- its just a local friendly saying that has existed for hundreds of years.
Its always the fukin stuck up ugly buggers who seem to complain about this sort of thing- you think they would like someone being positive to them.

What a joke 
I call everyone love. A shop I used to deliver to, 2 of the girls that worked there said that many different ones, I can't remember em all The ones I can think of are, love, sweet, doll, darling, hun. You'd usually get at least 2 of those everytime I was in delivering. The conversation generally went,
Me: Alright love
Girl: Oh hi hun, how you doing?
Me: Not so bad, you?
Girl: Great, doll
Me: See ya tomorrow love
Girl: See ya darling
Never once had a problem with it, better than the customers that barely said 2 words to ya

Ah yeah, flower and pet were 2 more that they used 
A mate of mine always calls people love too, although his ex always used to get in a mood when they were out shopping or something and he'd say 'thanks love' to one of the till girls. Cos she got in a mood tho, he just did it all the more

I though 'duck' was a nottingham thing
talk to a proper nottingham folk, and they will ALWAYS say "aup ma duck" to greet anyone
