It’s the inconsistency of signs like this that gets me. How did anyone decide to put apostrophes in these two words but not in any of the others? How?!
I wondered where all the apostrophes Birmingham abandoned went off to. Here’s the answer – Manchester!
Also: Panini is already plural! There is no need for the “S” at the end, with or without an apostrophe.
