The British policeman has several nicknames, but the most frequently used are"copper"and"bobby". The first name comes from the verb "cop" meaning "to take" or "capture", and thesecond comes from the first name of Sir Robert Peel, a 19th century politician, who was the founder of the police force. An early nickname for the policeman was "peeler", but this name had died out.

Dear Kind-Trustee-Who-Sends-Orphans-to-College,

    Here I am! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train.It’s a funny feeling, isn’t it? I never rode in one before.

    College is the biggest, most puzzling place—I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will write you a description later when I'm feeling less confused; also I will tell you about my lessons. Classes don't begin until Monday morning, and this is Saturday night. But I wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainted.

    It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don't know. It seems strange for me to be writing letters at all—I've never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if these are not a model kind.

    Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very respectful.

    But how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called John Smith? Why couldn't you

have picked out a name with a little personality? I might as well write letters to Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line.

    I have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all these years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as though I belonged to somebody now, and it's a very comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. There are just three things that I know: I, You are tall. Ⅱ. You are rich. Ⅲ. You hate girls.

   I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that's rather rude to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that's rude to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very external quality. Maybe you won't stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get broke in Wall Street. But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I've decided to call you Dear Daddy-Long-Legs. I hope you won't mind. It's just a private pet name we won't tell Mrs. Lippett.

    The ten o'clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided into sections by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. It's very lifeful. There it goes! Lights out. Good night.

    Observe how precisely I obey rules--due to my training in the John Grier Home.

Yours most respectfully,

Jerusha Abbott

  They have frightened some and attracted others.They are Wenlock and Mandeville, mascots of the London Olympic Games.

  Since both of them have a camera for an eye, they are called one-eyed mascots.Their cameras will capture every great event on their journey to 2012.And they both have a taxi light on their heads, like the world-famous London black cabs.Wenlock’s head shape is meant to represent an Olympic podium and the three medals won in each event.Mandeville’s head features the three Paralympic colors.

  Wenlock is the name of the English village considered by many to be the birthplace of the modern Olympics.People think its local games inspired Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who founded the International Olympic Committee.

  The other mascot’s name is a reference to the village of Stoke Mandeville, where the Paralympic movement began.

  The mascots are a central part of London’s business strategy and will feature in everything from T-shirts to tea towels.No doubt they will be seen under children’s arms as their favorite toys.

  The 2012 Committee Chairman, Sebastian Coe, said, “We want them to be part of our fan base.We want them to engage with young people.They have in large part been designed and driven by what young people want.”

  Young fans like their mascots to come with a backstory.Children’s author Michael Morpurgo came up with the idea that the mascots origin was from the last drops of molten steel left over from the construction of the Olympic Stadium.

  Adults and organizers might argue but the most important audience for Wenlock and Mandeville are children.Ten-year-old Kira, from Essex in England, wrote to the BBC to say:“I think they are lovely! I love the Olympics and so does my sister!”
