That reminds me of my first visits to Wales and how stupid I felt for not being able to figure out the correct spelling of Taff's Well. Once on the train from Cardiff to Aberdare, I thought the signs on the platform at Taff's Well would confirm that it does indeed require an apostrophe. If only! There were two official-looking signs, one with the apostrophe, one without. According to Wikipedia, the town is called Taff's Well, but the railway station is called Taffs Well. I would write an angry letter but I am not sure how to address it.
