I have a long held dream to start a clothing range in competition to the very riskily named ****.
I would make sure it was very English, and to emphasise that, I would name it after an ancient English king (and spelling mistake), ****.
It used to be Canute when I was a boy. Wasn't he from our part of the world? Perhaps the English Tourist Board could use it.
PS - hilariously enough, it asterisked it, even though I did put in the legitimate spelling of an ancient English King, Canute, but the more modern version without the a and the e. Obviously EUROPEAN interference. I wish I'd voted Leave now.

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even realise.

Not sure why but Always has me in bits.
I have a very VERY old t-shirt sold to me in the early 1980's by a tour company called "Vikings" which catered for the Anzac section of London to do tours across Europe, either for specific events like Pamplona, F1 races or the Munich beerfest, or more general 15 countries in 19 days type tours.
The slogans on the shirt consisted of the "F" word followed by every conceivable thing in Australia considered worth insulting. Sadly they are all faded now as to be virtually invisible but occasionally I dig it out to get a snapshot of life then.
I take it that the Anzac population of London has shrunk considerably since those days, when Earl's Court/Kensington was literally an Aus/NZ home from home.
