McCurry

How about this for some common sense at last?

In the UK a few years ago McDonalds persecuted a poor woman called McDonald from Luton I think it was. Ms McDonald, her real name, by the way, opened a sandwich shop and, perhaps unsurprisingly, called it McDonald's sandwich shop.

No attempt at golden arch copycat, the shop was painted blue as I remember it and there was nothing to suggest that Ms McDonald was trying to do anything other than make an honest living for herself.

Big Mac took Ms McDonald to Court and won so the poor lady had to close her business ... change its name ... evil Big Mac.

The same has just happened in Malaysia apparently except that there the Courts are far more sane and McCurry (I think that's the name), a one outlet organisation providing chicken curries to Malay society, has been allowed to stay open and trade as if Big Mac didn't exist.

Let's hear it for the little guy and the rational Courts of Malaysia.
