Even grocers manage to put it before the 's'!
A few I've seen recently are: "Lady's underwear for sale" - yuk and "Contractors room's to let" - nice try but still wrong.

mid devon council typical this is the council that gave themselves a 35% payrise whilst cutting funding to childrens homes and old peoples homes ect to pay for it then sacked the cheif  fire officer who sits on the council for voting againt it hypocrits the lot of them but as far as i can recall devon county council reversed the sacking because he was there representative  as well and had no control over him this went all the way to london till it was resolved and the leader of the council was forced to quit  but they got there 35% rise but had to reverse the cuts to childrens & old people sevices and fund them out of there reserve funds and they were told they coukd not claim any expenses allso
