Whilst all our attention is mostly on the current pandemic and subsequent lock-down one small story of interest to some may have passed by without notice.
It seems that a company Anglo Atlantic Media had claimed (and already lost)they owned the rights to the name of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. No idea who this company are but it seems that that the ageing members of the band (ranging from 76 to 89) they founded back in the sixties tried not just pinching the band (which they lost last year) but attempted to claim other "wrong-doings" including slander and Trademark Infringement.
These bogus claims were dismissed without merit by the Judge and were ordered to pay the bands costs which The Times quoted as being in the region of £60,000. Serves the shysters right!
Well done lads!
