You have to credit the guy with managing to make a living out of telling people in which hand to hold a fork.
Anyone who gives Willy credit has to be a mental.
Willy credit sounds like Metropol's equivalent of Clubcard points.

Well according to Nolan he's at Manchester Metropolitan. I would have thought one of the tougher universities to ply your trade as "Minister for Manners" as he was dubbed on the show.
Perhaps the highlight of the interview was Nolan's suggestion that "You're a bit different, aren't you?" - in fact, in places, Nolan made little attempt to hold back laughing at him. Worth a quick listen on the iPlayer, about twenty past midnight.

'parently he's around for some form of novelty value, clearly isn't being sought out as the best source of etiquette in the country. Either the silly season simply isn't over just yet somehow or there's a bunch of staffers at the Beeb having a sweepstakes.

I posted something similar, then lost my nerve and deleted it! I'm sure the
double entendre was the intention of the OP though. You have to beware the lawyers on this topic!

Exactly, although sadly they're making mock of etiquette rather than him. Shame, as he's a much better target.
