Need help on the British acronym P.C.
Fellow Who-sters,
This is more of a Beatles reference. In the song "Maxwell's Silver
Hammer", they sing "P.C. 31, says 'We've got a dirty one', Maxweel
stands alone...".
I was watching the Beatles movie "Help!" and they were introduced
to Bahamian Police officers as "this is P.C. 5, this is P.C. 6, etc".
I know that it has somekind of COP (Constable on Patrol) reference,
but what does P.C. stand for? Principal Constable?
English Who-sters, please help out.
Thanks,
Ken Tanguay
