Sorry but I have to get this off my chest.
The word is marque (pronounced mark) not marquee.
A marquee is a big tent or awning.
Marque means "Brand" as in the best quality you can buy.
Look the two words up in good dictionary. Nowhere is "marquee" defined as meaning anything other than a tent-like structure.
Even the papers get it wrong and it hacks me off!
I Feel better for that. Think I'll go for little lie down!
