Interestingly, Gavin Williamson, former Defence Secretary (sacked today) has caused Theresa May (or whoever typed up his dismissal letter)
to add an apostrophe...


after the word "others" (end of paragraph 4)...

doesn't look right to me wobble (page from Daiy Fail)

Makes a change from the "BARBER'S SALON" I saw today in North London silly

It's correct.

"Others" is plural, as in "other people".

The full sentence would be "Your conduct has not been of the same standard as the conduct of others.", or "Your conduct has not been of the same standard as others' conduct.".

My phone keeps miscorrecting “Theresa” and “there’s a”. Quite annoying!

But in that instance it would be a championship for just one U21.

Good point. Then it could be U21s' Championships but then it probably should be U21s' Championship.
