  • I'm just beginning to wonder, reading some of the posts on this and other threads, as to whether we should indeed do something more positive.

    For example, think of the Baby P case and the recent poppy day.
    Maybe we should, instead of throwing poppies away, continue to wear them in memory of baby P. We could call them Pop Pees?

    Clearly, the owner of this business is a Mr (or Mrs) Cornish Pasty. The sign merely denotes that the shop belongs to him (or her). :D

    I've given up worrying about apostrophes - at least the word is the same.

    What gets me is the number of people who think that the word 'have' is spelt 'of'
