We went to a new bar yesterday, just for a coffee - Circus Cafe in the new Town. It was quite good; they have a great wine selection, in the basement - it is a former bank, the wine is stored in the strongroom!

I read the menu. And got annoyed. They have a section called "Martini's". D'oh! And they have a section called "Bloody Mary's". D'oh! D'oh!

But what really, really got me was that they have a section in the food menu called "Antipasti's"! So not only is there an completely unnecessary apostrophe - but there is a completely unnecessary s, as well - antipasti being the plural.

Aaaagh!

(Interestingly, the website has PDFs of the menus; which don't have the apostrophes! Take my word for it - they are there in the printed version on the table!)
