But bring her back in what form?. If a chemical company has anything to do with it, she will be brought back as a bottle of medicated shampoo and I, for one, kind of object strongly to this! I have started a campaign to stop just that. Please post up my view where they will be seen and publish my letter (BELOW) that I am sending out to get support for an objection to the Trademarking of 'Nitty Nora' by a chemical company for a medicated shampoo. Please support my campaign to KEEP NITTY NORA FREE. HANDS OFF OUR NITTY NORA! Dear Reader, I am writing to make your readers aware of a threat to our great British heritage if an application to register “Nitty Nora” as a trademark is not stopped!! Trademarking a word or phrase gives exclusive rights to the applicant, to that word or phrase, thereby taking it out of public use forever. This is exactly what a chemical firm is attempting to do by registering “Nitty Nora” as a trademark for a medicated shampoo What next? “The Lollipop Lady”, “Ferry Across The Mersey”, “Humpty Dumpty”? – where does it all end and what else is being quietly trademarked just because we aren't aware of it?. “Nitty Nora” is out there, she exists as a phenomena, for so long now that most people have heard of her. The ‘Head Lice World’ is the only place she exists and she should be free to dip in and out of the organisations, services and business that reside there. I have written a poem about her in support of ‘wet combing’ as an effective method of lice eradication and it would mean I ‘d loose my leading lady – and for me, no one else will do. I am opposing the application, at my own expense, but I need to provide evidence that the phrase is commonly used in the trade. Please help me by sending me any references to Nitty Nora in literature, on the web, in advertising campaigns and/or any memories, in fact anything about her so I can compile a case with the best possible chance of succeeding. If like me your readers wish to object to these plans please show your support for my campaign by visiting the web site www.nitworks.co.uk or email me at lucy@nitworks.co.uk or send to Hands off Nitty Nora, PO Box 166, Colwyn Bay, LL29 0BZ. I have until 6th April 2008 to gather the body of evidence required. Help me stop big business claiming exclusive rights to what belongs to all of us. Thankyou in advance, LUCY WEIS. END Hello,
