My House Name is Missing its Apostrophe

[Swedes]

My house name is St Marks House (have changed it slightly for this post). The Land Registry entry has no apostrophe. The house sign has no apostrophe. All our post comes to an address with no apostrophe.

It annoys me and I now want to buy a new slate house sign. But I can't bring myself to have the sign made without its apostrophe.

Shall I have the sign made St Mark's House?
Shall I try and change the Land Registry entry as well?
Shall I notify everyone of the minor change in our address as well?

Or shall I buy these shoes instead?

ooh nice shoes! But ££££££.

Not sure about your house name, it's annoying enough to have no apostrophe in my talk name

Do all these things. Right now.

That would give me deep pain.

change the sign, and always use the apostrophe when you write your address down. not sure I'd bother with the land registry or notifying everyone. It kind of depends if you have a life or not

Oooh I'm encouraged by you all.

Do you think I might be able to force the Land Registry to change it free of charge, on a point of pedantry? I have thought about it. I imagine the court case would involve the Land Registry's barrister holding up a brass Dunroamin house sign and muttering "I rest my case".

The Land Registry would probably change it. Just phone them up and say it's a spelling mistake. They are pretty helpful like that and probably won't even make a charge.

... which means you can buy the lovely shoes

are you mad?

shoes, woman, shoes

I thought this might be you Swedes .

If you have a smart new sign, you will need the shoes to match.

As for the Land Registry, I like your belt-and-braces approach, though personally wouldn't bother unless it will leave you twitchy at night.

Tutter - LOL I might be able to stretch to both.

Midnight - LOL at belt-and-braces approach.

My house name is in ungrammatical Welsh. I find myself apologising to random people whenever I have to give my address to show that I know it is wrong. I feel your pain.
