So what is timesnewroman? It's not the font, rather my take on the age we live in. The USA is the new Rome and the times we live in are timesnewroman.

Anyone who's read a few posts on here is probably aware that Nestl� are not one of my favourite companies. I couldn't possibly go so far as to label them as a bunch of child killing bastards, but I have heard the rumours. It seems they are not content to corner the entire UK sweetie market. Now they really have gone a stage further."It seems Nestl� had wanted to register a trademark showing the familiar shape of the mint but without the word Polo embossed on it and without any specification of size or colour. That would allow the mint to become less specific and more general, a pink, green or lilac lifebuoy-like thing with the famous nothing in the middle capable of becoming a bigger nothing at will, with the full protection of the law."
Correct me if I'm wrong but a trademark that's the shape of a Polo-Mint, without the word Polo embossed and not a specific size or colour would be.....let me think.........A Circle! Nestl� want to trademark a Circle!!!!!
Fortunately a judge has told them where to get off!
