[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.]

I love those Icelanders

[Withano]

Don't Iceland only sell frozen food? Am I being stupid? Its called Iceland because they only sell frozen food right?! I dont think I've ever been in one.

Bjork to do to Iceland's CEOs what she did to the Paparazzi?

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 :joker:. Literally riddled with junkies :worry:

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

[Crimson Dynamo]

yes she had many years of cash
for their Big Ads.

Then Jordan's Ex
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 (£29.99 each today)

[Shaun]

get them shut down :clap1:

[jennyjuniper]

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?

[arista]

get them shut down :clap1:


No Shaun
to much money involved


That nation can P. OFF

[smudgie]

Pppffffttttt.
A bit late now. Iceland ( the shop) has been around for donkey years.

[kirklancaster]

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

[user104658]

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.
