A prime example of judicial humour
NestlÃÃâ€*’© have just failed in an audacious attempt to register a trademark showing a ring of unspecified size or colour and not even marked Polo. Giving judgement, Lord Justice Mummery, said yesterday, "This is an appeal concerning Polos, the mint with the hole in the middle. This is an appeal with a hole in the middle. It is dismissed." Well, I think it's funny.

However, I think it's a bit extreme, even for that lover of puns, The Guardian, to make it a front page headline.

Going completely off topic, The Express has a full page spread on a number of youngsters from a village in Staffordshire who have been made the subject of ASBO whilst The Grauniad limits it to about a column inch. I'm sure it must prove something or other about newspapers.

Re: A prime example of judicial humour
it got a little end-of-column bit in the Metro, for those who read that

no way does that warrant a front page....

That is funny. What are polos? Some kind of candy? We don't get it here.

Hmm. Does "sweets" have some double entendre significance in Canada?
