Ah, explains no Christmas card. Perhaps she’s running off with Tony Cable!

Crikey, there's a thought!

Pete, are you missing her already?

As far as I recall, the only time we can correctly use "it's" is to replace "it is" . This means their awkward looking phrase might actually be a grammatically correct use of the dreaded apostrophe...
So that 2 things I'd have worded differently in that announcement .

Wifey (once was English teacher) laughed my post. "It's just a spurious use of the apostrophe by <blanked out in the spirit of Christmas>" . So I've been told and the day is complete...

Seems common to get paid for failure these days.the special one got £21m...I'd fail all day for half that!

... except the Special One has never failed, has he? Everything that went wrong there was someone else's fault...

Well there you go then.

Some would argue that "it's" can only replace "it is" or "it has"
Some would argue that "it's" can mean "of it"...but I don't see it, myself.
In the given example, the announcement above, it is the Board (singular) giving its thanks, so if an apostrophe were correct (it isn't), then it should have been before the s.

Were you there then? no so stop talking nonsense

I suppose they will get someone who knows nothing about the industry to replace her.

Of course they will, any offers?

So the title of this thread should be what's instead of whats.
