Samsung Galaxy Note
Samsung UK notched up the Queen's Royal Warrant in 2012, becoming the first AV manufacturer to receive this honour. So with its By Royal Appointment status, it's no surprise that the company has been waving the flag and adorning a special edition smarties in red, white and blue.
An Olympic version of the stupendously sized Samsung Galaxy Note can be snapped up at O2, with a faded British flag on its case. The budget Samsung Galaxy Y has been given the same treatment too. Those who purchase a £500 Note or £80 Galaxy Y will be entered into a prize draw to either win a trip to the Team GB training camp, or tickets to Olympics events. Of course, a 5.3in Galaxy Note will undoubtedly come in handy for the games. By that, I mean playing Angry Birds Space while squashed in the sweatbox of London's Underground this summer. Tourists, gotta love 'em.

Sebo Felix Royale Upright Vacuum Cleaner
With the exception of our teeth, and governmental practices, us Brits have a passion for keeping things clean. Perhaps this is why Sebo has launched a Union Jack themed vacuum cleaner. A patriotic sucker for the… patriotic sucker.
The Felix Royale is designed for all floor types apparently, even the corgi-furred carpets of Buckingham Palace. It'll set you back a bit more than a Henry, though. Speaking of which, a Jubilee edition desktop Henry can be snapped up as well, but truth be told, it'll barely dust-off your keyboard, let alone a rug.

Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
An American, from the country that has given us junk food, obesity, gun crime, unfair extradition treaties, rendition, poor spelling, grey squirrels and Aids etc......
Your opinion is..... Not relevant.
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
Here in UK, UK very few of us give a rats arse either.
But manufacturers are idiots, and we like a good laugh at our own expense.
I'm sure you realise that whatever we screw up at the Olympics, the British will be laughing hardest and longest.
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
"I'm a Finn, actually."
Hardly surprising. An American would never have made the connection between this lot and our "tiny little monarchy". Actual Americans live under the impression that the "world news" they see on the TV is fictional and made in Hollywood.
Ratings are heavily down since the scriptwriters canned their hugely popular villain, the Soviet Union, at the end of series 8. The new bad guy, Islamic terrorism, isn't polling well with Nielsen audiences and it's likely that foreign news won't make the cut for the fall schedules.
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
We Didn't have junk food until you imported it to us, we couldn't afford it because we were still paying you back for the lend lease items WW2 until recently. Still you made plenty of money out of us.
As for rendition, that's what you do to people when they disagree with you.

> really rather not be *anywhere* in California
I get to visit California regularly, and nice though it is to visit I would really rather not, ever, in my life, live there. Even without the rain (which is why it's so brown^H^H^H^H^H golden). Apart from anything else, it's either overcrowded and frenetic, or stultifyingly boring, with nothing in-between.
And it is parochial, in that few people execpt recent immigrants have, or desire, any knowledge of anywhere outside CA.
