[QUOTE="gomez"] Greengrocer's and journalists', what do they no?[/QUOTE] Heh.
It really does depend on which authority you ask. If you go back several hundred years, the apostrophe was quite widely used for plurals. Although that is not usually considered correct usage now, some authorities would countenance it's use anywhere where it adds clarity, which arguably would cover the gentleman with the mis-spelt surname's example.

I did my training here:- Bristol Motorcycle Training Centre Old Gloucester Road Hambrook Bristol BS16 1RS Tel: 01454 776333 They were top notch, fitted me in at short notice, and run their own camp site for stop overs. This was almost 10 years ago mind. -- HedgeHog AKA Paul Hendrick YZF-R1 Bultaco Sherpa BONY#3 BOTAFOT#101 Remove SpamTrap to reply by email
Umm... Now, I'll be the first to admit I don't know much about this DAS lark, but if you do a restricted test, and assuming you pass, wouldn't you have to wait for years to ride a big bike with a lot of horsepower, rather than having to wait a few weeks to do the full test? Sounds like a what people call here a no brainer. Yes. Wait
snip I did the full CBT and DAS in 4 days in Peterborough with CSM at TAZ Motorcycles (0845 345 6405). I only went in to enquire about a course and found that 6 days later I had a full licence, and a BMW R850R. Can't remember the cost of the training but worth giving them a bell. They certainly had short notice tests. Peterborough is pretty good for the test route. Nice combination of dual carriageway and reasonable town roads. Nick
Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, John Murf True story: I are a morris man. On May Day we tend to wobble around the countryside visiting pubs, schools and hospices and generally making a bloody nuisance of ourselves. A couple of years back our first port of call was a primary school. It is traditional to end a display with a dance called "Bonny Green Garters", and one of our blokes thought it might be amusing to invite the kids to join in. *All* of the kids. 200 of them. It was fucking chaos. We left in fits of laughter, leaving 200 hyper kids and eight or so extremely pissed-off teachers. The next place was the local hospice. We get to "Bonny Green Garters" and fifteen blokes whirl round, glare at the prat with the bright idea and say in unison "Don't you fucking *dare*".
I don't know if I knew this before... but it makes sense. Do you have a secret handshake? Which lodge to you belong to?

Heh. We were dancing this weekend: three sets at lunchtime. We often invite kids in for BGG, but 200 of them.....
