phew! - had to be careful i didnae infringe any copyrights there!
like most households in the UK i wasnae surprised to receive this leaflet earlier in the week, wherein royal mail dress up their latest price increases as some kind of “modernisation” of the mail handling system.
what i did find somewhat more startling tho’ was when i saw that, according to the small print on the back of the leaflet, the royal mail have apparently registered “the colour red” as a trademark.
the sneaky bastards! - i mean you could maybe see a case for them trademarking the colour “pillarbox red” [even tho' that would mean i'd have to start buying a different colour hair dye!] - but taking out a copyright on what amounts to about a third of the entire colour spectrum is downright greedy, if you ask me!
