Left handed? Good grief, something else to add to her catalogue of deficiencies!

Prince William is also left handed - not usually seen as a deficiency these days. I think Anniebach was commenting rather than criticising

Of course it isn’t. I wasn’t being serious!

Maybe ‘whatever’ might be more apt.

being left handed isn't a defiency

Anniebach Wed 19-Feb-25 09:58:14

Gosh I am deficient !

It seems like panic stations.

But this is a really ill thought out decision
- she'll struggle to register a company "As Ever" as another company trades under that name
- she won't be able to trademark "As Ever" products as the authorities won't trademark common words and phrases (Archetypes got refused for that reason)
- her logo has plagiarised the emblem of a town in Spain

I hadn’t noticed she was left handed before her video re her new brand

I think she’s getting desperate. If only she could retain some professional marketing staff she wouldn’t be in this situation. But, as Spinnaker said “Am I bovered”!

Why didn’t she or her underlings search to see if the name she wanted to use was already taken? Basic preparation 


One would have thought so...

Allegedly, there’s already a company listed “As Ever”. Back to the drawing board
 🙄 I’ve also read that her new logo is almost identical to the one used by a town in Mallorca. Allegedly.

Didn't she ask Harry's advice first?

As so many Americans have a sentimental view of what they think is "Englishness", maybe she was getting confused between "whatever" and "as if"! Actually, thinking about it a bit more, I think both expressions are also used across the Pond (that's quite possibly where we got it from in the first place...).

Spinnaker Tue 18-Feb-25 11:00:04

As Ever !
Whatever !
Am I bovvered ?

Thank you Catherine Tate 😄😄

Anniebach Tue 18-Feb-25 10:51:59

She said she is in partnership with Netflix

Whatever!

Prevented from using American Riviera Orchard, Meghan has come up with the brand name, As Ever!

I don’t know about the USA but has nobody advised her that in the UK it’s often a term of exasperation? đŸ€”
