I will give you a clue. All the first British settlers used to wear shirts with P.O.H.M. written on them, hence them being called Pohms, or later: Poms. Can anyone guess what P.O.H.M. might have stood for, or am I going to have to be unbelieveably smug all day? A quick quiz for you.

Would it be prisoner of his/ her magisty ??
