I watched a programme yesterday about a multi-millionaire who lives in Surrey. His daughter was celebrating her 16th birthday and could have had anything she wanted. Her dad carried in her birthday cake …… it was Colin.

It would have been amusing if she'd wanted Cuthbert.
Marks & Spencer has ended the supermarket cake wars with Aldi.
Marks had accused Aldi of copying its Colin the Caterpillar for their version called Cuthbert. Lawyers had been brought in on the property claim, which even made it to the High Court last year, but now both supermarkets have confirmed that an agreement has been struck to resolve the conflict. Details of the 'confidential' deal have not been revealed, but it is understood that Cuthbert will not appear again in quite the same form.

Whilst agreeing to the customer it seems nothing on the other hand all businesses are keen to protect patents, intellectual property etc whether for Cuthberts, gin bottles that light up or latest inventions and if a company does not legally challenge something it can lead a legal precedent.
Respecting the multimillionaire thing, Rick Astley famously turned down a billionaire's request to perform for his daughter on the grounds that he was 'no rich girl's plaything'. Bloody good for him!
