A disaster ‘as ever’
In the news Meghan Markle logo disaster, plus the plane crash in Toronto, a sinkhole in Kent and Pete Doherty in Switzerland

It seems that Meghan Markle has yet again managed to put her foot in it. This time, she and her marketing team have created a new logo to accompany a rebrand of her lifestyle website called, As Ever. Frankly, I’m not sure that’s such a clever name given how many wags will contrive to distort it, as I have done in my title. So, Meghan’s new logo of two hummingbirds flying next to a palm tree unfortunately closely resembles the ancient heraldic coat of arms of Porreres in Mallorca. The logo dates back to 1370 so in fairness, the small and picturesque town has every right to claim that they got there first. I do think the two logos are similar but not identical. However, it would be up to a copyright lawyer to decide whether there was any serious infringement. That’s not all. A fashion brand in the States is also unhappy with Meghan’s new business as it shares the same name ‘As ever.’ Two disasters in one fell swoop.

Seriously. Since when has a spat over a logo been called a disaster. Get a grip.
Who cares
Hi Anna, I would imagine 95% of passengers have their iphone ( other brands are available) on their person. Given the absolute totality of life on todays phones it is the one thing you would want to keep hold of. The Hermes bags, new underwear, even passports have to be abandoned. It should be the absolute rule, and I know this has happened, if the person in front of you is pfaffing about in the overhead locker( in this case on the floor) they must be physically pushed hard, as the person behind is pushing you, to exit the aircraft. No ifs no buts push shove move.
Anna, true, but as the plane was upside down, the hand luggage was most probably strewn all over the ceiling, so it must have been safer to pick it up rather than fall over it, risking breaking an ankle or worse.
