"I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it."
"I think Camelot are giving people the wrong impression - the card doesn't say to look for a colder or warmer temperature, it says to look for a higher or lower number. Six is a lower number than 8. Imagine how many people have been misled."  These people exist, they really do. God help us.

As it is but one chav, who is singularly possessed with woe, I would say that the application of the apostrophe is, in this instance, correct as written; although to avoid any possibility of confusion, it could have been expressed as "the woe of a chav".....

Alas Mark, I believe my learned colleague, Mr. A. Zarse, was making reference to the absence of the apostrophe in todays and not the correctly positioned apostrophe in chav's. But I suppose it is an easy mistake for the poorly educated to make  |

Oh, I thought the question was about Peter's sentence, not the wafflings of some Mancunian Grauniad buffoon in the actual news article! Teach me to read and type quickly....  MG Mark |

I haven't a clue what you are on about.
Except, that is, there should be a capital at the start of the sentence and i.e. should have full stops.

And anything in exclamation marks should start with a capital. How are you going to fit us all in?
