Two months ago, punters with a hankering for spicy wings were confronted by a peculiar sign at a Metro’s chicken shop in Ladywell; a printed sheet of A4 in a see-through plastic binder, taped to the door. “The High Court of Justice and the Court of Appeal” it decried, in huge black font, “have found that Metro’s have infringed on Morley’s trade marks”. Other than a typed-out hyperlink, there were no other details. The Londoner decided there was more to this story — and in doing so, discovered that the notice is the result of a consequential battle in a clandestine chicken war raging across the capital.
