Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest HIts

Shouldn't the apostophe be after the S? Simon and Garfunkel are two people, it is their Greatest Hits, not just Garfunkel's.

Or.... do we regard the two of them as a single entity?

Or...... should it be "Simon's and Garfunkel's" ?

It is the Greatest Hits of 'Simon and Garfunkel', who are regarded as a single entity for this purpose.

Therefore the apostrophe and 's' at the end of 'Garfunkel' are correct.

Pesky things to catch those moles!

A bit niche, perhaps? Still funny, though

Worth preserving.

Dude it doesn't matter if the dealership knew. They have an obligation as a trade seller. They can't say the car was mapped and we sold it, but didn't know it. You're a sceptic, but you need to read up on our UK CRA 2015. They can't wriggle out of selling a car that had been remapped and claim it wasn't.

You have read this thread haven't you?

PS scpetic is our term of endearment for our transatlantic friends. Cockney rhyming slang. Scentic tank=yank

3 attempts, all different and none of them right!

Spelling Policeman here:

Sceptic, as in doubter, or questioner = Correct

Septic, as in tank = Correct

[Spleen]

I suspect he meant to say septic on all counts, including where he called him a sceptic.

I'm not sure what the mole has to do with it? It appears to be a common usage https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/blog/wha...

He's got a problem drilling for moles is how I read it.

Which doesn't augur well for his chances of catching them.
