Residents spoken to by the BBC urged the authority to retain apostrophes or risk "everything going downhill"

Admitting that their programmers are so crap that they can't deal with real addresses is a bit worrying - I wonder if Little Bobby Tables lives on a street with an apostrophe?

Judging by this, the rot set in before 1966.

The missing apostrophe is a nice touch. Not sure why I censored the name, I have my doubts that this chap is a PH regular.

The icing on the cake with that one is the missing apostrophe.

For context, the RD is a bike I had as a young 'un. (Never re-meet your hero's??)

I can't quite decide. It should have been "heroes", but since an apostrophe signifies a dropped letter perhaps this gets a pass? Discuss!

You go back to the 80's, 90's and early 2000's, at what point are his cars now just cut and shuts?

Starts badly then halfway through changes his mind.
