Help Needed from my English friends!
I come from a family of English police officers, but none of them have worked there in a very long time so I turn to you for the most up-to-date information! :)
-Cops vs. coppers. What do you think a lower-class (council estate-inhabiting) nineteen year old would say? Coppers feels a bit Dickensian to me, but cops sounds North American.
-Do they still use the term PC? As in PC Whatshername? Or is that old-fashioned?
Thanks for any insight you can offer. I'm re-editing The Nest for a possible reprint edition, and these are a couple of things that have always bothered me.
