It's a term of endearment many of us use and have used for years; however, FP has expressed her disapproval of it more than once. I use it only occasionally when feeling especially affectionate, but I think it quite suits him.
That's it you see; I don't think it suits him at all because it's too 'sickly-sweet'. He uses it himself in True Love, of course. Give me 'honey' any day, which he uses in River Of Dreams. I suppose 'honey' is also sickly-sweet but to me it sounds less cloying.
But my own term which I use occasionally is 'Sweetie' and probably the same objections can be raised about that. I tend to use it in a humorous manner to myself; I don't post it on the board. Anyway there it is now for all to know about.
I don't generally refer to him as Sugar, either. But because many here do, when I heard the song I thought of him! I have thought of him as Sweetie, but mostly I think of him as Handsome. For obvious reasons.

I follow Pete Lincoln, the lead singer of Sweet, on FB... this was his status this morning.
Sitting in Newcastle airport. Flight delayed. Will miss my connection in Amsterdam and won't get to Frankfurt until this evening . . . hopefully in time for the gig tonight . . . life in the fast lane eh?
He sings it high, he plays it low
I sometimes refer to him as 'Sunshine' Coz when I open my locker in the mornings every day his smiling face beams out at me. So I've gotten into the habit of saying 'Hiya Sunshine'. Pathetic..... but it works for me!
Saw this in a shoe shop yesterday...

Well - just to be clear I certainly didn't coin the phrase, so I don't want to be singled out or get undue credit for it.
To me, it's splitting hairs to quibble over Sugar, Honey, Sweetie, Glennie Bear, or any of the other terms of endearment mentioned. I think any and all apply to this HS&G man. It may be good for us to do a sample testing - I'll bet any of them would make him giggle (or run).
