Another thread from the deep archives of BHF.
The English master (position, not race) at school remarked one day, when dealing with our language that the sign above the cab of Lester's coal lorries was incorrect.
It apparently read "Here comes Lesters". Hi said it should, correctly read "Here come Lester's". For nearly seventy years I have remembered that - heaven knows why! :D
