Actually when I think of adults saying 'Mummy' its usually over-privileged, green welly wearing sloan-ranger type girls' name for their personal cash dispenser / person to steal prescription highs off
Most adults say 'Mum' unless their from north of Nottingham in which case it's 'Mam' - true story!
