   • 2002 June 10, “Silly names for failure”, in Telegraph, UK, retrieved 14 Apr. 2009:

     Since February, we have been calling for the ridiculously named Consignia to change back to the good old Post Office. . . . [T]he chief executive, John Roberts, said of Consignia that it was a "modern, meaningful and entirely appropriate" name that "describes the full scope of the Post Office in a way that the words ‘post’ and ‘office’ cannot". That was clearly hogwash managementese of the worst variety.
