It's a sign of the times look at your local football jerseys eg AIG
for Man U etc Stadiums Emirates Stadium for Arsenal CitiField for the
NY Mets etc. Its a Money Maker I can see you taikng the Bakerloo
from Weetabix Piccadilly Circus To Carling Waterloo maybe the line
will be the HSBC Bakerloo


But people would be stuck if there had been a Setanta Stadium, or a
"Woolworths" tube station. That's the point really.
