It's all about 'aving everything in its proper place - including lowly apostrophes.

There's a well known hostelry a few miles from here , known for generations as "Paddy Burkes". No doubt it had an apostrophe at one stage - but it has long since disappeared. They recently put up a sign on the entrance to their car park saying:

Reserved for Paddy Burkes's Customers

I like it!
