It's a former goods shed that has been transformed into a local farmer's market and restaurant..."<br/>The word "Goods" is a plural, and does not need an apostrophe. The word “farmer’s” does need an apostrophe. However, “farmer’s market” means the market belonging to one farmer. I think that the Goods Shed is a market that belongs to several farmers, and so it should be “farmers’ market”.<br/>Tell me I am small minded and that rules are meant to be broken. I was taught that contempt for minor rules was an indication of contempt for all details – and that brings into question the accuracy of the writer. Dear Godd-esque,

I haven't been to Canterbury in years. Is your Money Pit in Hythe perchance? We used to have friends who had a place there (they split up and we all lost touch). Your dog sounds adorable too.
