LOL..yeah you see..you're starting to get my point....

..I don't mind it when I know people..I don't even need to know them that well..but I'm not keen on it if it's a total stranger who I've never ever spoken to before....I would never use a familiar term with someone I didn't know...

A lady in the supermarket I go to always calls me this odd one,'sweet peach',I quite like it but never further engage as to why.
She only does it with me,no one else I am with when anyone is shopping there with me.

I don't mind when people I don't know use nice terms though.

Yeah, I don't really even use terms of endearments myself, except with Gav and the kids and my nephews

Depends, sometimes people use them in a patronising way.
