Dad's Army Or Dads' Army?

[hc4361]

Which is the proper useage in relation to the sitcom? I know it is called Dad's Army but shouldn't it be Dads' Army?

[Tilly2]

As you know, it depends on how many Dads there are.

[Jackdaw33]

Tricky one. An army of dads or the army my dad belongs to. I shall reserve judgement.

[Tilly2]

.....as will I, Jack :-)

[hc4361]

Me, three :)

[Tilly2]

What does the film title say?

[Jackdaw33]

Actually I'm coming down on the side of Dad's Army, otherwise it should properly be 'The Dads' Army'.

[Tilly2]

Found it, Dad's Army. The army my Dad was in......(along with some other Dads)

[Tilly2]

What about Father's Day?

[Togo]

How far do we go? Farther Father?

[hc4361]

The film is Dad's Army but there is no one dad in it. There is no son or daughter claiming a father in the unit. It's an army of dads and granddads, so I think it should be Dads' Army

//How far do we go? Farther Father?//

Father Farter Fathered Tartar Vader's Garter.

You're a bit of an expert on such things, DT. Which way do you swing? Dad's or Dads'?

:D

[Hopkirk]

I have bigger things to worry about.

[Old_Geezer]

Before my time but I've always assumed Dads' Army as that is general and makes more sense. But I guess sense wasn't needed.

Anyone fancy a Dad's Original Scotch Oatmeal cookie/biscuit with their tea?

[Jackdaw33]

...and Daddy's Sauce as opposed to Daddies' Sauce?

[Old_Geezer]

Most households have a maximum of one dad.

[stuey]

Anyway, I'll leave you lot to sauce out the correct answer; I'm going to act like a mad dog or an Englishman, and go out in the...

[DTCwordfan]

the BBC version is Dad's Army

I hear that there was a major dust up this w/end in Canada, a bit of a war between Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. Is this true, Stuey?

It has been reported on the bottom of the 6th page of the Times that the Newfies were lobbing hand grenades; the Nova Scotians were pulling the pins and throwing them back.
