Imperial pint glasses declare European conformity

While bitching about the horrible Europeans and their foolish laws, it would probably be a good thing to start using proper English grammar:

"Whilst meanwhile, how many of the French have decided to move to London and it's environs because of the economic opportunity?"

It's "its environs". That is, "its", pronoun, replaces "London's environs".

"Although, I've never had the opportunity to live in France, I am sure it would also be rewarding in many ways, but not because of some of the rather idiotic little laws and regulations that the EU forces it's citizens to live by."

It's "its citizens".

Sorry, but we all have our pet hates, and seeing "it's" (contraction of "it is") used instead of "its" (pronoun) makes me want to climb the walls in frustration.

Anna, proudly European, living on London, Great Britain, last I checked part of Europe, and yes, greatly annoyed and offended every day by the Mail and its kind.

Misused churchyard sign

Uh, Cory, I know where that sign is, and I have heard our common friend speak of the churchpeople there (one of the pastor's daughters used to catsit her cats). I don't think the issue was playing, really.

No friends yet.
