    As I'm sure some of you knew, former members of HMV opened a music shop in Carlisle Road recently and named it HVM in homage to their former store. HMV complained and they responded by turning the HVM sign 180 degrees and they are now WAH and adding a little speech bubble saying something like "his masters voice has told us to change". Great way to respond to legal threats with a touch of humour:D
