Beckham battles for his name

VICTORIA Beckham memorably tried to prevent League One football team Peterborough United using their club’s nickname ‘The Posh’, arguing that the word was ‘ inexorably associated’ with her.

Now her husband, David Beckham, has lined up a target of his own, complaining about the name used by a South-East London estate agent. Tara Taylor, sole director of Beckhams Property Services, has bid to secure a trademark for her company’s name, but Becks has lodged a formal objection at the Intellectual Property Office.

Beckham and Victoria are, of course, West Londoners these days. In 2013, they spent £21.4 million on an eightbedroom mansion in Holland Park — indisputably posh.
