I just had to share this with you lot.
Burberry have taken great offence at the use of their trade mark 'tartan'.
Not with the use of it by football hooligans and yobs who have turned their scarves and baseball hats into some bad taste "uniform", but with a small time pet shop owner.

To be quite honest, if it came to it and my company was being associated with these things, I would much rather be associated with the ferret clothing.
But of course it's easy to be offended with a small time guy who has taken about 20quid out of their pockets as opposed to the chavs and yobs of this world who are actually making them money isn't it?
