sigh Another sign that English isn't taught well these days. If
you had been brought up in, say, Liverpool or Manchester, you would have been
very familiar with the large store called Lewis's (different company to
John Lewis).

Elsewhere you would have been exhorted by adverts on trams and buses to
"Shop at Binns" (I think without any apostrophe - but the proprietor's name was
Binns).
