Bit of QI trivia Gavin....Trio (japanese of course) were actually called kenwood in Japan,however in the 1970's when Laskys were the importers of Kenwood,they had to re-badge them as Trio,as there was some trademark issue with the existing Kenwood name,ie Kenwood chef food mixers etc.
Be seeing you.
