Here in Leeds we consider ourselves very fortunate to have several fantastic hospitals at our disposal in the heart of our city. One of them, St James's, better known to most of us as Jimmy's, is the largest teaching hospital in Europe.
With a name like that, the hospital is very careful with the correct placement of its apostrophe. And I'm particularly pleased that it has never resorted to calling itself St James', although many people do so.
But someone must have taken their apostrophic eye off the ball on this occasion.
Gaffes. Published. Especially by those that should know better.
