you couldn't make it up

A coven of witches was today claiming victory after developers changed the name of a £350 million shopping centre after a year-long dispute.

"Highcross Quarter" was a pretty feeble name anyway, although mildly better than "The Shires". Although the neopagan website is claiming primacy, it is interesting to note that it registered its domain name on July 14, 2006. This is also the day that the new name of the shopping centre was published in the local paper, the Leicester Mercury. This seems rather a coincedence.

Hadn't thought of that :)

It'd be worth it, if only to piss off the extremist muslims who successfully campaigned to have a local woman remove porcelain statues of pigs from her windowsill because they passed them on the way to the mosque and were 'offended'. How she felt about having strangers staring in wasn't recorded.

A case of a crook making a lot of money

I have worked with clients, a charity, of the company that developed the witches website. He tried to get members of staff to pretend to be witches of this coven so that he could win this case - he is my opinion a crook. He left the charity I work without passwords to their computers or the ability to control their website.
