The attached is masturbatory fodder for all Lifer pedants.
I do not necessarily exclude myself from that accusation.

I thought both Jesus's & Jesus' is correct. There is some confusion at the tube station where some of the signs say St James' Park and some say St James's Park. & it is/was St James' in Newcastle0

There were two deliberate mistakes actually but well done for spotting one of them. It's called irony.GreenWithEnvy said:BTW OP it is test YOUR ability not YOU'RE - so you failed right from the off.
