I'm a student from a working class background currently studying at
University
and planning to join the police once I've graduated. I hope to be able to
make
a positive difference to the world (or at least a little corner of it).

Being from a working class background does not preclude you from being a
graduate and being a graduate does not preclude you from being a good
copper.

Also, if it was an imposter, the real Pterry's decision to mention ppint in
Hogfather would be quite a strange one.
