My fourteen year old daughter was reading the latest copy of Liberator magazine, when she came across Lord Bonkers’ Diary.
On reading the title, she pounced with zeal on what she believed to be a grammatical mistake – a misplaced apostrophe. no less.
Fortunately I was able to reassure that the noble Lord is simply mad, not promiscuous.
P.S. The noble Lord has since contacted me personally to say that his title is derived from the Norman French ‘de bon coeur’.

That made me smile.
And am very impressed with H’s reading material.

That you for providing my morning laugh
And I’m glad you’re daughter has an uncommonly sharp eye for misplaced apostrophes – far too many adults make careless mistakes with them.
