Convenience store owner Jel Singh Nagra is in a bit of trouble for his choice of names, however, after Sainsbury’s threatened legal action against him for calling his shop Singhsburys. The supermarket giant was not thrilled with having their copyrighted name used in a particularly fine pun so Mr Nagra, from West Allotment, North Tyneside, had to change it.
