The (correct) lack of an apostrophe in this one from today's Guardian is a neat piece of misdirection:
As for pupils, notice put up about book (3,5)

Quite right, bobs mum - can't do anything about it now though!
Do you remember PC49? - from "The Eagle", I think.

PC49 is a blast from the past. It was also a radio series.

I'm gonna have to think about this Chris, it's not jumping out at me yet, wondering if it's the name of a book and I'm not the best with literature. Leave it with me though.

PS: I don't feel 49 today

The book is one of the Gospels, les. Not the full solution, though. Where might some put an incorrect apostrophe?

Top marks?

Spot/ put up around Mark (gospel) = top(mark)s

Yes - and many would write "As" as "A's".
