Althalus Posted May 20, 2003 #1 Share Posted May 20, 2003 MANCHESTER (Reuters) - A cafe has turned itself into a copy of TV's disaster-prone Fawlty Towers and the customers love it, the owner says. Phil Wood, of Wilmslow, Cheshire, said he was abusing staff and arguing with customers, just like hotel owner Basil Fawlty in the classic 1970s BBC sitcom. In the television series, Fawlty, played by actor John Cleese, lurched from one disaster to the next, haranguing his guests and attacking his Spanish waiter Manuel. "I like to have a bit of fun with people in true Basil style. If they leave a bit of food I'll head over for an inquest, asking them what's wrong with the sausage," Wood said.
