The Curse Of The Apostrophe

SPOT THE  DIFFERENCE


St Mary's Stadium, Southampton.

Where Southampton were playing local rivals Portsmouth last Saturday.

Attendance at the match (including  a good many of my friends) 31,385

Atmosphere on the day: Red hot & volatile







St Marys, Isles of Scilly

Where my wife took me for a surprise birthday helicopter trip on the day of the above mentioned match.

Population of whole Island 1,666

Atmosphere on the day : Sleepy to comatose.



What a difference an apostrophe can make.

(To be fair it  was a wonderful trip and we spent a lovely day wandering around the island, sampling the local hostelries etc)

  1. We went on the helicopter to Tresco - fabulous. Have promised myself a return visit before too long. Glad you had a great time, Wurz and I`m enjoying the photos you took on St Mary`s (or St Marys) for which many thanks.
