Did anyone specifically say tomorrow morning though?
Or is that just something which should stay in Pedants' Corner? (Or even Pedant's Corner, or Pedants's Corner?)

Very good point. I retract my previous comments. By the way I got some chips form this place at the end of the great north run last week. Ridiculous…

There are (is?) no words for that except "aaaaarrrrrggggghhhh" or variants thereof.

On the other side of the van it was spelled correctly too. Mental.

It's the first one. Pedants is plural, so the apostrophe goes after the s showing possession of the corner. If it was Pedant's Corner I would think the phrase would need a definite or indefinite article ('The' or 'A') in front of it to indicate it was singular. The third could only be correct if someone was called Pedants and it was their corner, in which case it would be Pedants's Corner.
BTW I do get the joke. I'm just being pedantic!

Whoever owns it might be called Chip, in which case that's quite a good bit of wordplay. Probably not though
