Haha , am too long in the tooth to get upset or angry about getting into a restaurant . It wasn’t my choice anyway to go there. Feel for them though as nobody needs that even though he doesn’t answer calls . Edited May 12 by Numbnuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they have been begging government for a hospitality hand out, or just working hard and giving a good product with good service? This will probably hit Davisons hard..They seem to cater mostly for the older folk like me these days . 😐The younger crowd is more into gelato.

Maybe so, but it may make him to up his game and innovate. I myself have had Davison’s ice cream and ‘gelato’ where there is a good selection of flavours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 14 hours ago, TheTeapot said: Leonardos has just been on fire. Edit - I have removed an apostrophe that should not have been there and wasn't put there by me. "Leonardo's" is correct. It's the establishment's name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is implying it is the restaurant belonging to Leonardo rather than implying multiple Leonardos, but if it was the restaurant belonging to multiple Leonardos, it would be Leonardos'. Though I cannot comment how the apostrophe should be placed, if at all, in Italian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I cannot comment how the apostrophe should be placed, if at all, in Italian. Yeah, as a general rule. However some firms Barclays, for example, don’t have the apostrophe in their name. So style guides recommend following the company’s lead. Leonardo’s Facebook uses the apostrophe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I cannot comment how the apostrophe should be placed, if at all, in Italian. It would simply be Leonardo, or Ristorante Leonardo. The possessive apostrophe in English harks back to a time when we would have written Peter, his book or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 So the fire is unimportant and of no interest because it is far more fun arguing about where to put an apostrophe……..there are no words….none .. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
