On the radio this morning, I was woken by this amusing news story:

Every Christmas, a remote pub in Northern England serves a traditional holiday meal consisting of pate, turkey, roast beef, trimmings and pudding, under its "Family Feast" menu.

According to reports on Thursday, however, American fast food giant Kentucky Fried Chicken is suing the Tan Hill Inn for trademark infringement over the company's own "Family Feast" -- a cardboard box of fried chicken and french fries, coleslaw, potatoes, gravy and a 1.25-litre soft drink bottle.

"The solicitor told me I shouldn't take it personally, but I don't feel anything -- it's just hilarious," the pub's manager, Tracy Daly, told The Times newspaper.

"They are a multi-million-pound international organisation and I am just a little lady up a mountain."

The Tan Hill Inn is a remote pub along the Pennine Way hiking trail, and holds the unusual distinction of being England's highest pub, at 1,732 feet (528 metres), and is four miles (6.4 kilometres) from a tiny North Yorkshire hamlet.

When the pub received a letter from the law firm Freshfields in London, Daly initially thought it was a late April Fool's joke.

Regardless, she said she is not going to back down, telling the paper that she had already had "two firms of solicitors offering to take our case for nothing."

A spokesman for KFC was quoted as saying in The Times: "'Family Feast' is a registered trademark of Kentucky Fried Chicken (Great Britain) Limited. KFC devotes significant resources to promoting and protecting its trademarks."

"This particular instance is being dealt with by our solicitors."

I had to admit to having a chuckle at this that a big corporate organisation should feel so threatened by a small pub in the Penines!

Question: would you look at the menu in the pub that was advertising a 'family feast' and think oh goody I can have a Kentucky Fried Chicken here!

What would you prefer to eat: a good helping of pate, turkey, roast beef, trimmings and pudding, or a cardboard box of fried chicken and french fries, coleslaw, potatoes, gravy and a 1.25-litre soft drink bottle.
I know which one I would prefer, but then again i have never been a fan of KFC or fast food in general lol!

Had to laugh though

So onto todays news. The sun for now is shining though it is still cold and I know that the forecast is for rain later. It is freezing at work at the moment, the head has been walking around in a short sleeved t shirt so therefore we do not need the heating on and anyway it is May so you shouldn't need it. I am hoping for a relatively easy day today. We should have afterall, we are practising for tomorrows assembly and so not much in the way of lessons is being done.

Nigel will be late home tonight as he is off to watch Spurs play, announced he is going on Sunday as well as it is the last game of the season (oh great two months of him in withdrawal mode to look forward to then), so I am dragging him out to MK shoppingo n Saturday and spending his money for him

Long conversation last night with a friend and they have decided that they will come to Florida with us as well - once their daughters wedding is over and done with they will book up - it will only be the two of them so should be fun. We went with them last time and had a great time - helps that we are all so much alike

Right enough of rambling on, must polish shoes and get ready for work!

Have a good day everyone - oh and hope Smichen, CJ and Molt are feeling better today!
