A friend of mine (and my former employer) ingrained in me the importance of proof reading. His own fantastic blog readingthesigns often remarks on the presence (or absence) of apostrophes. I must admit that the rules and exceptions for when that single stroke is applied often puzzles me. On my recent trip to Killarney I noticed one business that must have been equally confused but seemed to adopt a safe approach. Or maybe I still don't get it.

 I was in Killarney for a stag party last weekend and on Sunday I strolled around the town to clear my head and take in the sights. I always liked seeing the different post boxes with British regalia which are fairly common around Ireland. What I never took notice of was the makers name. I noticed a number of different boxes in Killarney made by WT Allen & Co. A later google search suggested that the company still operates in London. I thought it was strange that a non-Irish company produced these post boxes in Ireland. Another web search indicated that they actually had a long term contract for the supply. Interesting  |
