plc or PLC?

Does anyone know if plc should be capitalized? AnimatedZebra (talk) 11:25, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Technically speaking it should be capitalised but plc has become the accepted form, much the same way that laser and radar are no longer capitalised. I'd say it's fine the way it is (edit: in its uncapitalised form that is) -ross616- (talk) 13:08, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Basic info missing

I came here to answer the question "When was the plc suffix introduced?" This is a very tricky question to Google, as you keep getting results for programmable logic controllers, and something like "public limited company invented" tends to bring up American results. There's a huge amount of (perhaps too much) technical detail here, but very little in the way of simple overview/history of the plc concept. 195.194.238.103 (talk) 12:11, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Companies Act 2006 changes

Some of this article doesn't seem to have been updated for the changes introduced by Companies Act 2006 that commenced in 2009. I just spotted and fixed a problem with the Annual Returns section (the 363S shuttle return is no longer provided by companies house, the CA2006 equivalent AR01 form must be filled out in full), but I'm pretty sure there are more. I think the description of company formation process is out of date (I haven't done it recently, but the form naming described appears to be the old one) and I also suspect some of the costs described are from the old system, too (I think paper Annual Returns have gone up to £40, now).
