Fraser Please do not worry about our name POSH. As I pointed out before our name is Preserving Our Sutherland Heritage. When the name was first thought up a long time ago we checked out POSH and found double glazing companies and all sorts using the name. In fact our very first web site where we wanted www.posh could not be ours as others had been there before. There are many companies using the name POSH in UK. What has upset Posh Spice is the fact that Peterborough Football club are blatantly taking off her. Posh place, etc. We are having fun, no more, no less.

The trouble is that whoever wins might be just that much more touchy about others using " their " trademark and this may even impact on ourselves, despite the fact that we might be very small beer in a national sense. Would P.O.S.H. count as a different trademark to POSH? This would seem to be getting into murky water--I'm almost sorry I brought it up in the first place!!

Christine You could, however, write a timid letter to both parties expressing our worries at the thought of being sued. This might well elicit reassuring letters which could be framed and stuck up on the 'office' wall...
