Never underestimate the power one has by irritating a corporation.
But I'm not sure what legal rights (definitely not sure re: UK law) he may
have in changing his name thusly. "Legoland Windsor" is most likely a trade
name, and protected by trademark law. If I were to change my name to
"Time-Warner, Inc." and then tried to publish something based upon that
name, I would most surely be prosecuted as well.
Hmmm.
