Chatting to a manager in a phone shop today and she told me that she had
just come back from 3 training and that they had been told that 3's 2G
service was no longer provided by O2...but Orange!!
"Surely not" I said..but she was adamant that it had changed some weeks
ago.
Anyone confirm this..or is she talking rubbish??

It's not rubbish, it was reported in the news many, many months ago.
Changeover was due to commence in Q1 2007, I thought.

It was announced months ago, but I was under the impression that it
wasn't going to happen till the new year.

That can only be a good thing. When I was Orange 3G (back in the days when
they were more accomodating to loyal customers!), the swicthover to 2G in
poor 3G areas was faultless, never had a single dropped call. Now with
T-Mobile, and handover is just as reliable.
You never know, 3 may now have reliable switchover - I'll watch and wait.
