Same S***, Different Century/Decade
To paraphrase Kipling -
For it's Johnny this, an' Johnny that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country," when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Johnny this, an' Johnny that, an' anything you please;
But Johnny ain't a bloomin' fool - you bet that Johnny sees!

I have a great idea. Why don't the companies that make large profits on products making unlicensed use of the Ghurka name (e.g. handbags, luggage, fashion shorts, etc. etc.) make a donation to the Ghurka Welfare Trust (http://www.gwt.org.uk/) for reach product sold?
A pizza chain in the UK makes a small donation to the Veneziana Fund (see http://www.pizzaexpress.com/assets/downloads/venezianagrants.doc) with each Veneziana pizza it sells.
At least it's a token ethical gesture, but I feel a similar thing could make a big difference to the lives of poor people in Nepal.
Just my opinion.
