    Gotta admire a tryer

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-40416049

    A shopkeeper who claimed he was threatened with legal action after calling his shop Singhsbury's has changed its name to Morrisinghs.

    Jel Singh Nagra's shop had no name for five years after he said Sainsbury's complained, The Northern Echo reported.

    He has now put up a new sign naming his store Morrisinghs, in a bid to put his village of West Allotment, North Tyneside, "on the map".

    A spokesman for Morrisons said the supermarket "did not mind".

    "Mr Nagra and his customers obviously have good taste so we wish him well," he added.

    I think you are suffering from memory loss as we did this a few years ago.

    Can't be bothered to dig out the thread.

    And I've referred to it a few times since.

      There's been a 5 year gap between the two names. Same shop, new story.

          It isn't.

          The guy said he was changing it to Morrisinghs and they said they didn't mind because they knew it was good publicity.

              I think he would stand a better chance of avoiding the lawsuits if he refrained from using the corporate colours and logos.
