Carry On Constable, typically English? (4)
I believe the answer is:
cope
'carry on' is the definition.
(carry on can mean to cope or manage)
'constable typically english?' is the wordplay.
'constable typically' becomes 'cop' (police officer).
'english?' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'cop'+'e'='COPE'
(Other definitions for cope that I've seen before include "Deal well with difficulties" , "Priest's cloak; deal (with)" , "Firmly based (in)" , "Long cloak for a priest" , "Manage - poet, first name 18" .)
