19 October 2007: Flushed with Success

The Islington area of north London is popular with pub and club goers, so needs an additional set of public toilets. And one local trader has an idea for how to name them.

Mike Weedon has proposed that they be named after Joe Orton, a local resident and renowned playwright. Joe Orton was openly gay, his life having been celebrated in the 1987 film "Prick Up Your Ears".

Islington Borough Council is not impressed with the idea. The deputy leader said "I would only support a naming plaque on a toilet if something worth commemorating happened there."

SaintFM things the best thing to say at this point is nothing at all.
