Whatever about signwriters — for homework, my kid's teacher gave the class some English worksheets she had made up herself (or copied from a colleague). They contained an exercise which required the children to 'complete the following sentences by inserting apostrophe's in the correct place'...Round Tuit said:Really gets to me - they are supposed to be professionals.

Eh? Potatoes Merchant? That still doesn't really make sense...Sarah said:Clubman, i walk by that sign every day and am wondering was it a spelling mistake or was there supposed to be an "S" and the end of it ??"Potatoe Merchant"!!!
Probably because the place has been closed years!All the same how come they have not fixed it yet!
Seems to be quite a few pubs by that name in the UK anyway. Any chance the name derives from the play by Ben Jonson (not the drug cheat)? Actually - there seem to be a few works of literature with the same name...Vanilla said:Ok, completely off topic, but when I lived in the midlands I used to travel up and down to Kerry every weekend and used to pass a pub in the middle of nowhere called 'The Case is Altered'. Eventually I had to find out why, so one day I stopped there for a drink and asked, but the barmaid could only tell me that the owner had worked in a pub in London of the same name. Anyone the wiser?
