I must apologise. I did assume that was what happened but with a 1pm deadline for the story, I had to use "journalistic licence" to put my spin on it and get my copy in.

Of course if Tesco complain, I will take "full responsibility" for the "mistake". The Editor though, has assured me of his "full support". In other words, if Tesco threaten to sue, I will be the "fall guy" and the boss will "kick me down the stairs". In my defence, I will tell Tesco that they are getting lots of free publicity. That should satisfy them.

Well done on getting all that stuff into 2 short sentences. I am now on the case and have self-awarded a self-rewarding package.

YOUR dinner versus YOU'RE dinner ...
One leaves you nourished, the other leaves you dead.

I liked your dinner stuff, Cerasus.

Jigjag, Cerasus, everyone... I may be taking my AM (Apostrophe Monitor) duties too seriously. Rest assured, when I have the weekend crossword's to occupy me, youll all be able to drop you'r apostrophe's, scatter them randomly, whatever. Ill be too busy.

I saw something online that amused me.
Picture of Barack Obama with the caption "You know your s**t"
Picture of Donald Trump with the caption "You know you're s**t"

ChrisE, thanks for that - a terrific example of the usefulness of the apostrophe.

Thanks, Cerasus. I wouldn't want to become a pest myself!
