DO THEY NOT LIKE ORANGE!

By CBR Staff Writer

All at the same time?) of Nasty Neighbours, a play by Debby Isitt, it was less than amused that two characters in it are called Mr and Mrs Orange: the paper reports that Ms Isitt is now scouring the phone books for an appropriate new name – but as Mr and Mrs Orange are two of the eponymous nasty neighbours, whyever should British Telecom want her to change the name?
