    Martin,

    I know it's your website and everything but there's a time and a place for potty mouth (and potty finger)... it's the MSE Arms! :rotfl:

    :D

    :T :T :T

    Genius, though! Any chance of a Martin's Finger smilie? :D

    Just keep being yourself. I tend to prefer reading up on stuff here in a more "evaluating" fashion than the soundbites.. but that's what other's need.. you're definately having an influence as I regularly will get a text from my wife reminding me of what you've said!

    *LOL* I saw it at the time and had a bit of a chuckle. I've always understood that finger to mean "up yours" though. Two fingers (the peace sign round the other way) is eff off... isn't it?

    I had to watch it twice to spot it though -it was that quick. Don't think many people would have noticed if Martin himself hadn't pointed it out. I was more interested in the chat - was a great spot/interview - very clear I thought. Passionate without being over the top Martin - IYKWIM. Fab stuff.

  • Martin, the use of the middle finger does not offend me at all, however if you were to use the British. two-finger salute...

    (By the way, shouldn't Martin Lewis' in the top banner be Martin Lewis's?).

    Martin Lewis' is the singular, Martin Lewis's is plural. Think that's right, long time since I went to school :D
    There's only one Martin Lewis on here afaik!

    Fantastic clip, Martin's face was a picture :rotfl:and i agree about :money: needing to be updated! :p
  • No - both Lewis' and Lewis's are singular and both are correct. If a singular noun (proper or otherwise) ends in an s and you wish to add a possessive apostrophe, you can choose whether or not to place another s after the apostrophe.

    As a point of interest, the plural of Lewis is Lewises, thus a website belonging to more than one Martin Lewis would be Martin Lewises' MoneySavingExpert.com
