[Wolves] Off topic - travelwm

[gary at walsall.uk.com]

Hi Jon,
Th domain is travelwm.com and was registered over 2 years ago. The domain was parked on a server which by default always refreshed to diydating or a similar site. I have a family member who became a bus driver with travel west midlands about 6 months ago, and he has said that there is no company 'travelwm', in fact they are 'travel west midlands', which is part of the 'national express group'.
Travelwm.co.uk is just the domain name that they are pushing their website on and they have no trademark or anything else on travelwm. Thier website has only recently started to take off, so this is why they are kicking a fuss up now. 

Obviously, i am not going to say too much on what the domain was purchased for, as this will go through the courts if need be.

Oh, I would like to thank the person who forwarded my email address to the express and star. The email address I use in here is only for here. I wonder if anything I posted previously in here will be in the paper soon.

What was actually said on the radio5 live show ?

Gary
