[[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7416562.stm sign behind GB's head... is that correct?

I thought it was Thomas's or James's or whatever...

For some reason, Biblical names (Thomas and James both disciples) seem to be exempt from the standard rule of adding apostophe s.

presume so. Gordon Brown is standing in front of it.

But I suppose it could be in Crewe & Nantwich
