What the Sunday papers said

With most of the City on its August break, it's a quiet week for company news, but there's still plenty going on elsewhere in the papers...

The mullet is back, proclaims the Telegraph, proudly. Tim Martin - the founder of J D Wetherspoon famed for his 1970s footballer's haircut and euro bashing - says it's great to be pulling pints once more following his impromptu sabbatical. But it's not quite business as usual. He has reinvented himself as a more hands-off non-executive chairman, squeezing it all into three days a week - Sunday Telegraph​

Meanwhile, in a far cry from the high-minded ideals of humanity and tolerance embodied by the Olympics, the organisers of the Athens games have warned spectators that they could be barred for taking a surreptitious sip of Pepsi or an illicit bite from a Burger King Whopper. Strict regulations published by Athens 2004 last week dictate that spectators may be refused admission to events if they are carrying food or drinks made by companies that did not see fit to sponsor the games - The Sunday Times​

The BBC is in talks with Sky about allowing the commercial broadcaster to use its "Freesat" trademark.
