M y most humble apologies. I have clicked on the link to the article 9 times, and every time it says "because some member (SINGULAR) of the public..."
I even had a friend check it for me. In their opinion, the article as linked on page 2 of this discussion does not have an s on the end, no amount of anyone's
wishing can put one one there. If that is not how the article appeared, then we're discussing at cross purposes.

I would request of you all that you please remember in your own way those who
did what they so that you can do what you do.

Without my forebears standing with yours, there would be no UK to have passports. I feel great sorrow that anyone would begrudge them their service
to crown and country.

Please allow me to bow out of this, as I have no wish to be tempted to make this as personal as it seems to have become.
