I know both Lakesailor and Dylan have been working on this for their marine flicks. Would this help?

Suitable pole and a bit of gaffer tape and off you go.

Not just Tesco's (note the apostrophe, Dylan) - I believe they go cheap everywhere!

Fantastic idea. Free eggs as well.

I was wondering how to incorporate the other chick in the list of videos

Why would "Tescos" need an apostrophe? Arguably is shouldn't have the "s", but is is not a possessive, nor a contraction; merely an unnecessary plural.

I think the origin is shops named after their owner - hence "Smith's", "Johnson's", etc. People carry the habit onto businesses not named that way - there never was a Mr Tesco. So it's an unnecessary possessive rather than an unnecessary plural.

I think it's valid in that it is an example of the Greengrocer's Apostrophe.

I think it's valid in that it is an example of the Greengrocer's Apostrophe.

But the Greengrocers' Apostrophe is wrong! Note that as it is an error made by more than one greengrocer, the possessive apostrophe in this nickname should go after the plural "s"

 

[Lakesailor]

That is the problem though. If there is only one greengrocer it would be correct.
But that would wrong because the Greengrocer's Apostrophe is an example of incorrect use of the apostrophe.
So it must be more than one greengrocer and is therefore incorrect. Which is correct.

 

[nigelmercier]

That is the problem though...

Not quite, the Greengrocers' Apostrophe refers to the signs that incorrectly say something like: "Banana's £1"

Which reminds me, I saw a sign at a recent boat jumble that said "Everythink £1". Sigh!

 

[Lakesailor]

How does that work then?
The Greengrocer's Apostrophe is an eponymous example of that thing.
It's wrong because it refers to more than one greengrocer. Therefore it is a correct example of a wrongly-used apostrophe.
