Out of interest how to spelling-nazis spell the park named after St.
James?

Phrase that in a less offensive way and you might get an answer.

It might be a reference to popular cultu the "Seinfeld" series had
a "soup-nazi" in it who was rude and dogmatic. (This may not have been
the first use.) I know of many people who refer to
such-and-such--nazis and no-one takes offence.

Maybe it's because my early years were dominated by the Second World War,
but any use of the word nazi for relatively trivial rudeness and dogma does
a disservice IMO to those who fought and died to rid the world of the
horrors of the true Nazis.

Anyway, it's St. James's Park. Since James is singular, the plural form
James' is incorrect, though LU manage to use it on just one of the platform
signs.
