FCUK FCHK Missing FAX?

Does anyone know if the original document or the original fax were kept? Presumably, because this was such an important historical document, someone from one of the two offices must have kept one of them. The fax would have had some content that required some work by the sender. Even if it was typed into a wordprocessor and sent direct via a faxmodem there would still have been a document on the pc which could have been reprinted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.22.37.204 (talk) 02:03, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Rather belatedly, I think I've answered this. Stephen Marks has said in a newspaper interview that the acronym was used for years between offices without anyone really thinking about it – or, he says, thinking it was rude – and it was only when he brought in an advertising exec (Trevor Beattie) that the potential was spotted.

Updating this article

I've updated the French Connection article as it's had a flag on the FCUK section for far too long. While this was a significant chapter, the company was established in 1972 and had far too little about its origins, the impact of Nicole Farhi and so on. I've also reduced the perfume list down as it seemed rather long and wasn't really well enough sourced to be such a large chunk of the article. I think if anyone feels strongly this should go back in, it might be wise to update the info and provide more than one source. Libby norman (talk) 15:16, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
