bridge too far

Thanks R. (I think )

So what's the 'trade price' then? In the link I gave, it's shown as 15p :confused:

I have to be honest - I never know which is the ACTUAL price as three are shown: http://www.lse.co.uk/SharePrice.asp?shareprice=SOO&share=SOUTHAMPTON_LS.

Price now dropped to 15p and another 27,000 just traded!

And they didn't even have the courtesy to apologise. :mad:

Teacher's pet :mad:

Do you often talk to yourself? Or is your itty bitty cold making you a tad delirious?

Now who's the pedant

Bloody hell, Weston! You can't surely expect them darned Yanks to get it right FFS

Husbands, me

I reckon that's the right version and in fact that sort of proves the necessity of the apostrophe.

Dirty boy [-X No - and I'm saying this because I'd hate his reputation to be sullied. :oops:

Nice bloke too. I had the pleasure of meeting with him a few years ago. Very charming man

Then how can we explain the grammar police's statement about one day's journey? Surely the journey belongs to the person making it, and not the day? I'm not entirely convinced either but I can see the logic in having an apostrophe.

Can someone please precis what she said for those of us out of the area?

Sorry :smt022

I just heard on BBC South that they weren't actually taken over in the end :shock:

TDD you really are one of the most negative posters on this forum. Whenever people get up off their backsides to try to do something positive, you slag them off. Why?

Just like the rest of the team, this player has no legs

Like a BOGOF you mean? I wish Rupey would bog off :mad:

Now there's been another 25,000 but I don't understand what 'Bargain conditions apply' means :confused: http://www.lse.co.uk/SharePrice.asp?shareprice=SOO&share=SOUTHAMPTON_LS.

Don't they need to want to sell?

In fact, fellow share sleuth, the latest sale was at 16.50p (it was only a measly 325 shares though).

Debatable I think - it's one that's always puzzled me. I think it's OK to use the apostrophe because it relates to the notice belonging to three weeks. It would be wrong to put 'one weeks notice' for example. Because 'three weeks' is plural then the apostrophe appears after the 's'. See here: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_apost.html where a similar usage is shown (three days' journey). I have nothing better to do today.

Pedant calling! Where's the extra apostrophe to which you refer?
