Empire Laid Bear


A child has noticed something about the Toblerone logo that has eluded most people - the image of Mont Blanc contains an image of a bear.


Apparently the bear is the emblem of Bern, where Toblerone is headquartered.

I was looking at the New Year honours list yesterday and it struck me that perhaps the names of some of the honours should be updated. 


Most Excellent Order of the British Empire? The Empire ceased when Hong Kong was handed back, and some would say earlier than that. There again, we do like things to be frozen in time.
