Why do you think you have the authority to say what is correct?????Oh godly one!
I don't, oh partially educated one.
It is the correct use of English that dictates it. No more no less. The Apostrophe of Omission ( or Contraction) is used wherever one or several letters are omitted. The Possessive Apostrophe however, is, as I'm sure you know, another thing altogether.....

User23.3 (albeit mischievous) is correct.
Pip Pip!
Threep.
Do a spellcheck next time if It's that important to you!
Hey guys calm down. Grammer is important, but lets keep it in context. My grammer/spelling is not always correct as my brain works quicker than my fingers. The post concerns the horrendous cost of petrol, we should all be joining together and marching on the powers that be to bring it back to a sensible cost and not nit picking about a comma or full stop. The gist of the post was obvious and surely we want posters opinions on subjects.
My opinion? Most of the price of a litre of fuel is tax, & a very fair one. When you think what actually goes into getting that litre of fuel into a pretrol station, the net cost is pretty cheap.
Fine, but it is on the market as a commodity, which is subject to almost random price adjustments. The people who benefit from this are speculators. Almost money for F all.

Take of the tax & the money the garage makes & a litre of petrol is £0.30. Considering what goes in to making that litre of fuel, not exactly 'almost money for F all'.

You misunderstood my post. I understand the large change in oil prices at the moment stems from the price of oil on the commodities market, not because of tax or production cost. People are speculating on the demand for oil, so that provided they have enough money and bottle, they can make big money 'for almost F all'.

Newbury's... Birmingham City Council have decided the (') is redundant on all their signs, perhaps Newbury shoould do the same.

Petrol is actually cheaper , in real terms, today than it was 30 years ago.
