'Tis I.
On the Matt Crawford/Kim Durham interview (TA above left) the grocers' apostrophe is used with impunity (well, not with impunity, 'cos here I am).
So, who is to blame?
We (royal plural as I am/we are a queen) demand to know.
Punishment shall be meted out:
I will do such things,--
What they are, yet I know not: but they shall be
The terrors of the earth.

Garn, if I had have known you meant apostrophe police strike, then I wouldn't have got me bobble hat out for the picket line.
Really? I've had a (very) quick scan and couldn't see any.
The only misprints I could find were "he's loves" instead of "he loves" and "as far" instead of "as for" (plus one use of "me" when it should have been "I"--a colloquialism, some might say).
Hardly an embarrassment of riches in the greengrocers' apostrophe stakes (or should that be "greengrocer's"?).
Anyway, I enjoyed the item. I loved the image of Kim and Sunny giggling away at some of their dialogue.
So, thanks for putting it on the MB.

You were right in the first place. All greengrocers seem to do it - including Sainbury's who should know better.
Kim and Sunny giggling - do they use the yogurt and the rubber glove, or snog for real? I forget. Sounds like the flying helmet and egg whisk or the one with celery (courtesy of "'allo 'allo")

I could say I wasn't libelling them because of the misspelling, but no - it was a typo. Sorry!
