I'd love to see Orange win. They're similar corporate bastids, but
Stelios has persistently bullied several small businesses out of using
the term 'easy' in their names, even though it is commonly used, and in

Best case scenario: Orange win overall, but Easymobile are awarded the
rights to orange livery in N. Ireland.
EasyO.
How does these tax exiles get knighthoods?
