Default Nation Iceland mounts legal action against Iceland over name rights




[The Government of Iceland
is going to court in a bid
to protect its identity from
the frozen food retailer
of the same name.
The Nordic nation, which has
a history of frostiness
with the UK grocer of the
same name, said it had
lodged a legal challenge
at the EU's Intellectual Property Office.]

Nah, they do mainly sell frozen stuff but they also sell basic groceries like you'd find in a Co op, etc.

I'm in Iceland quite a lot BUT only because there's one right next to my work and it's the closest place to go for milk for the coffees . Literally riddled with junkies

Although if I were an Icelander I'd probably be asking why they are spending my taxes on this..

took over


Ads are Clever
as All the Weekly Shop of a Iceland is
60 pound cheaper than sad tesco
thats alot of cash
she could then go to Argos and buy 2 Amazon Fire 7" 8GB
tablets for the twins thats the 60 gone (Ł29.99 each today)

If it was a den of iniquity I could understand the Icelanders not wanting the name of their country to be associated with such a place, but a frozen food shop?

Right at this very moment, all the crockery manufacturers are crapping themselves in case this gives China any ideas.

To be fair... if Iceland opened a shop full of cheap mass produced additive filled muck catering to hobos and junkies and called it "Britain"... we all know that ol' Nigel Farage would be on the first plane over there with his pitchfork.
