What languages differentiate between orange the colour and orange the fruit? 

Is it just orange for both everywhere? 

No! Norwegian (Scandinavian, really): 

The colour: Oransje

The fruit: Appelsin (lit: Chinese apple, from German).

Is it an age thing? Forums for other hobbies/interests seem to be dying out and being replaced by Facebook groups and the like. 

I always feel that the biggest group age-wise on this forum is around late 30's / early 40's and they grew up with forums.

Where do the black plastic bits that keep the batteries in remote controls go. I have three sat in front of me, not a battery door on any of them

They'll be in the last place you look for them.

I’m not looking for them, that’s the missus dept. She's the one that watches the telly, she's away for the weekend so I've borrowed her perch to watch Glasto. If I found them she'd know I've been in her spec on the sofa all weekend :D

A very useful section in any record shop

 

Excuse me, Mr HMV Assistant Manager, I have £38.99 to spend and no clue, not, a, clue, do you have anything old that I’ve heard of that’s recently been re issued as a picture disc?
