By the way, one of my best friends actually is from Leicester!!! His name is Andrew Benjamin Tidmarsh, an artist, of course! He resides in VIenna now (10-12 years or so), but he’s an absolute Leicestrian - son of a bobby and later pub owner :smiley:

Okaaaay, I meant, he was a “village copper”. A police man. Is “copper” english? Or is it U. S. of A.?

“Policeman” or “Law Enforcement Officer” would serve the purpose. “Cop” is considered slang and is an inappropriate term by many.

I may be compelled to inject some levity here. It’s neither derogatory nor slang - just a bit of both :slight_smile: Are you a, I cite, Law Enforcement Officer, whom I got on the wrong foot with my post? Remember: I’m entitled to my quips :slight_smile:

No, not in that way. I do have many followers who are. I always try to be respectful. Being a law enforcement officer in the US is an extremely dangerous job. Every single one of them has my respect and heartfelt condolences to their families who have had to deal with their loss.

No doubt. I was talking UK slang, to be precise. Sorry if something of that got you the wrong way.

“Bobby” refers to Sir Robert Peel, the founder of the Metropolitan Police in London. Pretty British
“Copper,” is a mainly, though 50s, US slang I think, re-introduced to the UK because of the badges?

Why I am filling in the etymology.
No offence was made or taken, just curiosity.
