“Oh, that's the name of the song, is it?" Alice said, trying to feel interested.

I went out at the weekend to resurvey all the highlighted roads in
this district (Tendring, Essex - about 38 IIRC). Many of these were
apostrophe related and I was beginning to think that the district
had a policy of not including apostrophes on street signs until I
