Oh, I thought it was soo cool that everyone unanimously agreed with me. Until I noticed I was the only person who had filled out the survey so far.

Spoiler mitigation: Mark with mouse to read... (I hope this works) Haha! The charity group wins and it's in fact a uranium company *laughs* I googled it after I did the poll. Knowing this, it really IS the most generic name for that. On the other hand companies to do with "atoms" know better than calling themselves AtomicEuro or RadioactiveEuro or LetsBombItAllEuro or something. Atoms have such a bad reputation in Europe that most people swear they don't have any.

Actually Eurodif.com is a French company that does fashion, housewares and has some sort of loyalty card, so it's none of the above!

Is it now? Granted, that was the first google hit, but see here:

Even if you can't read German, it says it in English in the first line...

That's awesome! It's a dessert topping *and* a floor wax!

...and there is an English version of the wikipedia page... I had no idea about the other thing! It's a dessert topping *and* a floor wax!

I was way too lazy to click my way through Wiki.en :)
So... counting all the different businesses under that name it really IS generic.

Eurodif is many different things, Eurodif.com is the fashion site, the Eurodif uranium enrichment company appears to be owned by Areva now (which is remarkably close in company name to one of London's main bus and train operators, close enough to pretty much sound the same "Arriva" so my brain pictured tubes running around the Central Line doing the enrichment by centrifugation that Areva mentions on their website :-)

Though I was (sort of!) amused that the Supreme Court of the United States was involved in an anti-dumping case with Areva/Eurodif :-)

I like that centrifuge tube line! That would make an interesting SF conspiracy theory plot...

(I voted for the car parts...)
