My recollection of Kia Or from my visits to the pictures many, many years
ago was that it was in a semi-opaque plastic rectangular container with an
orange top that you poked a plastic straw through.

I remember the containers being a bit prone to what we might call today
"fatigue cracking". Definitely not as robust as a bottle.

There was a thread some time ago about London stations that have a
commercial connection. (Can someone please provide a link to that
thread as I cannot find it?)
The rumour now is that Oval station is to be renamed Kia Oval so as to
be consonant with the cricket ground. That sounds like a good idea to
me.

I though that it had been the "Brit" Oval for the past 10 years.

As a cricket fan, I still haven't the faintest idea what a "Brit" product
is, so it hasn't worked very well.


I'm not a cricket fan, and I didn't realise what "Brit" referred to.

A little searching reveals that, pre-Kia, the Oval was called the
"Brit Insurance Oval", taking its name from Brit Insurance which,
perhaps not surprisingly, is an insurance company based in the UK.

Went to The Oval for the first time a couple of weeks ago. The old pavilion
looks digusting with 4 massive sponsor logos covering most of it up.
Certainly put me off buying a Kia car, (or visiting The Oval again)
