From a company that's just spent a fortune on changing their logo nothing would suprise me. The change is so subtle I bet nobody has even noticed but some design company is laughing their heads off

Paul,

Just checked this out on http://www.whois.co.uk

and that says that the individual didn't want their details showing on the whois database. Why would powergen want to do that then. Or has this site been registered by someone with a sense of humour methinks!!

Energy firm denies link to powergenitalia site

Energy giant Powergen says it has no connection to the unfortunately named Italian website www.powergenitalia.com.

Rumours have been sweeping the internet that the website for Powergen Italia is part of the empire of the British firm.

But Powergen Italia is actually an Italian battery firm, which was unaware running its name together in its URL would prove amusing to English speakers.

A spokesman for Powergen said: "This site has nothing to do with us at all. We don't even have an Italian division."

And what about the company www.viagrafix.com who, for some reason, decided to change their name
