    To return to the important issue.

    If the family name is "It" then the possesive is "It's".

    It the family name is "Its" then the possesive is "Its's".

        Its' would also be correct, e.g. Jesus' disciples and Jesus's disciples are both correct.

                Jesus's is technically correct.

                Might be a British English verse American English thing.

                  Fears for TVR as firm quits plant


                  Fresh uncertainty surrounds the future of sportscar manufacturer TVR after it said it would quit its Blackpool factory within six months.
                  The firm - which has temporarily laid off nearly a third of its staff - said it was unable to guarantee the future of its remaining workforce.

                      Factory is still open but they will be relocating ~ 6 months time. TVR is not finished yet!

                      I reckon they'll keep a skeleton presence in Blighty with main manufacturing out in Eastern Europe.
                      If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.
