Sahara is a large Indian conglomerate, not just an airline (not unlike
Virgin - why in the world would a BRITISH company name themselves that?).
"Sahara" is the generic Arabic word for desert, for whatever that's worth.

Why wouldn't a British company call itself Virgin?

You can't fool me; I've been to Bondi.


What on earth does that mean?



I'd advise you to hold off and revisit this thread after you've been to
Bondi.

As it is unlikely that I'll be going to Bondi (the Australian one, yes?)
in the foreseeable future perhaps you would care to enlighten me now.

The British there (and other places) have developed a reputation that is
inconsistent with Branson's choice of corporate appellation.

It was a simple throwaway joke, I think you know exactly what I mean, and I
can't imagine this discussion is achieving anything for anyone.

actually happened - it was business as usual.
