This this and more of THIS.
Did Robert ever call Chrissie any pet names? Not that I can recall.
I do think 'mate' does sound a bit odd personally but I can't think of what word would suit them.
Anyway those of you on twitter might find it more beneficial to complain to ED or the writers on twitter instead of in here all the time where it serves no purpose at all. I mean if you want something to improve unless you tell them it's not going to happen. Good customer service.
