Whilst neither is actually incorrect (in most cases), the "s" is
acceptable to *ME* and not the "z" for something *I* write in
British English.

When I was at infant school in the early 1970s, older books and
older teachers used the "z". By the time I was in my teens, it was
very unusual to see "-ize" except in an American text (or an old
one, of course). In recent years, I have noticed the "z" spellings
with increasing frequency - probably due to naff spellcheckers on
PCs.
