MAMAS & LEONIES RESTAURANT

WERE JUST AROUND THE CORNER
----------

Where do you start?!

[fryalot]

where have they gone?

[StealthPolarBear]

The most worrying thing is that looks completely normal to me

[PuppyMonkey]

Were they?

[Tutter]

you know what? i would choose missing apostophes ove incoect apostophes any day

(soy fo lack of 'aaah's)

[UnquietDad]

I'm not so bothered about the apostrophes in the names, as the meaning is clear. But the other changes the meaning, as puppymonkey illustrates!

[UnquietDad]

Maybe it's Yorshire-ish.

"Ey up, were just around t'corner like."

[UnquietDad]

Yorkshire-ish

[PuppyMonkey]

Were it?

Probably better thinking about this..

[ProfessorGrammaticus]

Oooh I used to go there in my teens! Nice to hear it's still there - the food used to be good (better than the grammar apparently)

[MrsBadger]

maybe there are lots of Mamas and several Leonies? [hopeful]

and maybe what's missing was a pluralising s not an apostrophe... and a line of text

'Mamas' & 'Leonies' Restaurants
were just around the corner
but have now moved across the road

(Tutter you are making me laugh - in your R-less state you sound like someone at the dentist talking with their mouth wide open)

[UnquietDad]

No, it's definitely one restaurant.

[fryalot]

tutter - here, have some of mine, I've got loads spare:

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr r

[MrsBadger]

I know, I know - I am playing on the point of 'but why be picky about grammar, you know what they meant'

[PuppyMonkey]

Tis the point of a pedant to be picky!

[asicsgirl]

lol mrsbadger about dentist. tutter's lack of Rs just demonstrates that you don't need to type accurately to make sense
