I am.
Are you?
Or are you in the DGAF school of thought?
Local councils are beginning to drop apostrophes from street name signs as databases must comply with BS7666 and not contain characters that can "confuse" computer systems.
Some signs with apostrophes missing have had them added by people with markers.
To me, there seems a simple solution, although there is probably a mad reason why it can't be done:
The names on the database have no apostrophes, but the street name signs do.
It's a good job it's not called Âshby De La Zouch...
