You'd think they'd have just started providing sofas by now, wouldn't you?

Depending on the store some have stairs, or you can use the low tables in the book department.

Andrew, I can't believe you are letting the standard slip.

Letting that grocers' apostrophe go in Adam's post without at least a comment about "Sofa's what?"


Back to pedants' corner for me*.




* Yes, it IS correct. There is more than one pedant there :twisted: .

Doesn't it depend whether it's a corner specifically allocated for doing pedantic things, or just a corner where pedants go and hang out?

Rather like Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park. You can go there and not actually speak; last summer I saw a bloke there who didn't say a word, he just had a sign around his neck bearing the words "It's going to get a lot worse". And he was right.

That is correct - when I saw this I actually took the trouble of calling him to confirm it - he insists the truth :shock:

If "the hill" is his local pub, then I agree. A chaingang after a session like that is nuts.
