Very much enjoyed the new bin lorry that visited my street this morning... I wonder what it reminded me of? 🤣 On doing a little bit of digging, it seems that there are some further, excellent trade mark-inspired versions of this lorry on the roads - see faun-zoeller.co.uk/products/rea...

🍗 EWCA disagrees that the average consumer of takeaway fried chicken includes a specific subset of 'tired, hungry and... intoxicated' late-night revellers, but rejects argument that the first instance reasoning on infringement was rationally insupportable:
