Saw this in Clintons yesterday. It's not just small businesses who follow that advice! Angry

A sandwich bar near where I live used to have a blackboard outside advertising jacket potatoe's, buttie's, can's, crisp (clearly, you only got 1!).

Saw a van this morning that stated they did patio's and path's. Sad Another several months ago with removal's and storage. How do the signwriters get their jobs, or do they just go with what the customer asks for?

This was spotted on Hampton Hill. As a bonus they even got the name of the restaurant wrong.

My favourite random apostrophe use was on a sign above an "all you can eat breakfast" bar at Washington services on the A1 about 15 years ago:
"Choo's 5 item's"

It hurt's to read some of those. Grin
