That article in the Telegraph is just too funny and only real life provides proper  comedy, it is Python-esque!!

Quote"Now children will go around Birmingham and see utter chaos."

Martin Mullaney, a councillor who chairs the city's transportation scrutiny committee, pointed out that Birmingham had been quietly phasing out apostrophes since the 1950s.

The it-was-in-Magna-Carta tone of the comments is good for a laugh too.
