Never knew that.
Apol's. |
No need to apologise Brian, it's one of the many common grammatical misconceptions.
I like your witty Apol's though! |  |

The apostrophe should be re-introduced.
Much like allowing the murder of influencers uttering 'QPR is sh it' when one should know 'QPR are sh it'.
You do the math.....
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH |  | | |

Re: the park, which Queen is being referred to? I'd assume Victoria, but it could conceivably be Anne. |
Or Freddie, or Brian, or John, or even Roger! |  |

The apostrophe can also denote omission, so if you take the anger out of Rangers, you have R's. Which may be why we're so apathetic. [Post edited 17 Nov 2023 18:51]

F..k my boots, but I've been following this complete shower for 50 (fifty) years and until I read your post, it had never dawned on me that 'anger' was clearly detailed as going to be a part of the Ranger's/Rangers/Rangers' experience!
It's like, everything seems so obvious now. You have released tensions that only several sessions before a psychologist could possibly hope to achieve or one night with Madam Bang-Bang in Bangkok.
Cheers, fella.

How have I missed this thread. 😳🙂
We are Queen’s Park Rangers.
Queen’s Park was created to be the site of the first Royal Agricultural Show.
Queen Victoria opened the first show.
The Park is named after her……..a single Queen.
If it was named after more than one Queen, it would be Queens Park.
Queen’s Park sits on London Clay, so it flooded and the Show was moved to Park Royal.
The Park today is only a fraction of the size of the original Park.
Residential Houses were built on most of the Park.
Still….. these days we could argue whether or not we are a football club that actually plays football.
What’s going on?
We should be told

Now maybe.
We had a Stadium there and played there in the early nineteen hundreds.
It held more than sixty thousand supporters. | | | |

Ah, Park Royal - home of Central Middlesex Hospital. Such a good hospital that back in the day I left a tip there as a young lad. |  | | |

"If it was named after more than one Queen, it would be Queens Park."
It would be Queens' Park, no? |  |
