Well I've been in there a few times with no problems (and once Max Decharne was in), so maybe they just don't like Scots.

"At the end, I thank them for all the free cava, but tell them that the really ought not to be calling it the champagne stand because you're not allowed to call sparkling wine champagne unless it was produced in the French region of Champagne, and embark on an extended rant about regional protectionism."

Did you also vent your frustration with people who refer to a public address system as a Tannoy, Alan?

There was one other Partridge moment between songs:

"FIRE! FIRE! The ball is on fire! (...) You're not even listening, are you."

I was so confused for a while there.
