I am an oldie and in years gone bye calling women love and men mate was perceived as a friendly and acceptable expression.I think Helen reacted in a negative way because she is not pleased with brian.If one of the other male HMs had used it I don't think she would have taken any notice.
It would be the same if he called marc mate and marc responded by saying I am not your mate.?
This PC stuff is now well OTT imo and causes confusion.
