Cllr or MCC

vector · 2009-06-10 20:41:32

If a person is elected as a Councillor he starts to refer to himself as *Cllr* John Smith what then is this MCC suffix I keep seeing on websites John Smith *MCC* Is that a subtle way of letting us know that the man is not merely a Councilor on say a *Town* Council, but rather he is definitely on a *Count* Council

I think Cllr was less used previously for county councillors and was more a city councillor thing. I don't think there was snobbery in it.
