Ah but that is an apostrophe in a different context (not indicating possession,
but abbreviation)!
I might equally say that piers are usually left - it all depends on the
direction from which you approach them.
😊
And to pick up on one of the images on the BBC linked report, I suspect that
"video's" might be an attempt at an abbreviating apostrophe, on the basis that
"videoes" just looks wrong. It does, too! But that isn't to say that "video's"
is correct!
