Being stiffed for £25k of unpaid invoices for contracted office work and the CEO last week creating a number of SPV businesses to hive off 'assets' (physical and IP) meaning I'm in the wilderness and going to see all of that money

That people don't know what the original branding represents, suggests that keeping it isn't really anything other than simple nostalgia.
Having said that, I did know about the lion/Sampson link and so I'm glad they're at least keeping the tin design as is. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

There are changes for the better and then there are the sort of changes being made in this age.
Don't get me started about Boadicea, King Canute, Montezuma, Chicken Kievs, Marathons and Opal Fruits. Even Diplodocus is 'dip-lod-ikus' instead of 'dip-lo-dokus'.
Edit. Oh, and an ambulatory Davros.

The TV licence!
I watch half an hour of the news on ITV in the morning and other than that, I don’t watch any terrestrial channels preferring to stream Netflix, Amazon etc.
So although I’ve paid the £159, I am debating carrying it on next year.

JLR removing access to their APIs, meaning that Intelligent Octopus Go will no longer work.
A compatible charger would be an option, but at a cost of £1k.
I have a GivEnergy solar/BESS, so might look at the Intelligent Octopus Flux option.
Edited to add that I’ve now looked at IO Flux …. it doesn’t work if you are anything other than a light EV user.An ex-Disco3 / FFRR owner ......
..... now on the JLR electric highway.
