A florist in Hanley has been forced to remove her Olympic Rings display by the local trading standards for fear of upsetting Coca-Cola. Although I personally live in Stafford, I visit Hanley regularly, and this absolutely stinks.

England has gone mad.
As a taxpayer, I'd prefer my local council to concentrate on encouraging traders and businesses, not persecuting them for the most minor of infringements. Where is the common sense, and more importantly, why have we allowed minor buerocrats to impact our lives with ridiculously over-zealous enforcement of extremely minor civil infractions, whilst burglars, car thieves and criminals run wild?
I note that no-one wanted to comment from Locog - despite the billions we have spent.
1. Who made this decision?
2. Who is the department head responsible for this decision?
3. What is the process to remove these idiots from their jobs?
How on earth did this pathetic little beurocrat decide that the Olympic rings are copyright - milliuons of English schoolchildren have done paintings of the Olympics, many of which are displayed loacally (Stafford Station for one) .
Is it me?
