I walk around work correcting the grammar on the newsletters and also the sign in the rubbish room which read ‘please leave the refuge room as you found it’. Erm, I think you might mean refuse? Trust me, you do not want to be seeking refuge in there; tres smelly. The funny thing is they don’t know who’s been doing it. I feel like Zorro. A masked heroine here to save you from your grammatical troubles. I would also like to say I don’t ‘deface’ their work as such I just leave post-it notes with friendly tips. It appears to be working.

Are you a Lynne Truss fan Sarah? My edition of Eats, Shoots & Leaves has apostrophe stickers so you can correct signs that you see around the place.
I especially want to fix some sentences on banners near The Friary Centre, which are badly in need of full stops, but I am not tall enough 😦
