when someone tried to burgle our house, the police came round to take a statement.
The policeman kept being really familiar, like 'and how would you describe him, Dave? How tall was he Dave?' and then to me 'did you get a good look at what he was wearing, Diane?' I am not called Diane, and my boyfriend is not called Dave. I did not have high hopes for him catching the suspect.

I hate it when people are overly familiar like that. I have been known to tell them that I had not told them they may call me by my first name.

Correct.
Worse still is the unauthorised abbreviation of a name. So fucking presumptious.
