    Once again for me it’s the misuse of apostrophes! I just saw an advert in the local paper here on the Algarve (we’re on holiday) for a painter and decorator called:

    Dans Detail’s
    CAFC publicity material now falling into this mire of illiteracy

    "Saturday's In SE7"

    Apostrophes for plurals - sacking offence 

    For anyone seeking pedants' corner (the corner in which all the pedants sit) from which to defend this abomination, pipe down before you make fools of yourselves. 
    Saturday's in SE7 could (at a stretch) be viewed as appropriate if it is to mean Saturday is in SE7 - but it ain't is it?
    This Saturday will be in Southampton.
    The best the blundering numpty can claim is that they don't know which fixture is played on which date but we all know the truth, i.e. there is rampant carelessness and/or borderline illiteracy across the OS team.

  • Curling. I don’t really hate its coverage does annoy me, it’s on morning and in the afternoon and on again in the evening. It’s mildly more interesting than lawn bowls but not much.

    Massive over exaggeration.

    Surely it was just the summer of 69.
