City rumours miss target
THE MAIL ON SUNDAY - 26TH AUGUST 2007
No wonder British Insurance and rival Brit Insurance are in a trademark battle over rights to patriotic nomenclature.
Last week, it was rumoured that a UK insurer was a forced seller of sterling. Whispers took that to be British Insurance and then Brit, with unhappy consequences for the share of both companies. In fact, neither was in trouble nor selling the pound.
British Insurance has been in a dog-fight over its use of the target-style symbol of the RAF, where tailspin is more dangerous than in the City.
