Registrations ending in "VD" were also not issued for many years
Back in the seventies, my ex-wife had a part-time job as a Beauty Counselor for a make-up company called Vanda. A sort of competitor for the Avon Lady. All was well, until they introduced a range called "V deVanda". It didn't do so well (try saying it), and I believe the company didn't last too long afterwards.
