    Which would be giving permission to a competitor to do as they will to take food off his table, surrender marketing share and risk accusations of being the plagariser.
    Making sure that competitors know to fuck off if they don't play with a straight bat is pretty essential

    Subject to a cost benefit analysis. There's no point fixing a problem at a net cost. As car manufacturers who don't recall products with defects that might kill a proportion of their customers, but know that the cost of rectifying via a recall exceeds the cost of compo, demonstrate.

    In this case it seems unlikely that ingo will be losing out by direct comparison....so he will only be losing out to customers who don't know of his offering. A better use of the cost (time/money) might be working to get across these customers (or others), while tracking concerns around damage to reputation and loss through nicked ip for possible action.

    This will come as a huge shock to most but rather than my usual spouting of Goth bollocks, and other made up nonsense, in these matters, this isn't my first rodeo. Investing next to fuck all time now removes an existing threat and reduces risk of pissing about going forward.
    That's my CBA.

    Bought some sun cream this spring.

    Doesn't look like I'm going to use it.

    Done ten days in Spain and four days in Mablethorpe this month. Got burnt in Mablethorpe of course as I didn't think I needed to put any cream on. Now peeling on my neck and nose.

    Not sure if it's a good or bad thing but there were tons of Forest shirts on display.

    I was hiking in 36C in British Columbia for several days. I wore a lot of sunscreen and did not burn at all.

    Yeah I mean 5 days by a pool in Valencia. I was fine. Lots of Factor 50 on. But an afternoon sat in a deckchair with nothing = red. Turns out lotion actually works. Well done science geeks.

    Reminds me of our honeymoon in Hawaii. Pissed it down one day. Crazy storms. Dark skies. Sat by the pool (under a veranda) and had a few beers. Didn't bother with lotion. Got badly burnt.

    Growing up, we used to get the occasional kid being sick in assembly at primary school for which the apparent solution was for a teacher to just put sand on it leave it for some reason. It fucking stank.

    We even had an outbreak of nits once as well.

    All of this was also in many ways not too dissimilar to a day trip to Maybo, but I'm not all that keen about the nostalgia for it.

    We used to go for a week in a static caravan at Robin Hood camp, Chapel St Leonard's.

    Years ago we reinsured the Caravan Club programme and a couple of our underwriters were invited up to Chapel/Sutton/Mable. Drove up in an Aston and still tell tales to this day of the tattoos, sun burn, obesity and chain smoking they witnessed.

    I was about to say, people should definitely not leave bad reviews on their Google page. That would be really harsh.

    Appreciate the sentiment but I'm only keen to start a war when I'm pretty sure I can win. At the moment I can gather and record all this shit under the radar whilst I think what the most beneficial course of action is.
