"Bubbles" bigod

The Archers

When I was an young sparrer, a local nightclub got hold of my date of hatching and offered to host a birthday party for me and up to nine guests. They were very keen that I should know that they would include a “free bottle of bubbly”.

Bubbly what, was not specified.

I don’t know whether Jolene’s line on Friday was supposed to remind me of that, but my goodness it did.

I have never really understood why it happens at all: “bubbly” and “bubbles” are no shorter to say than “champagne”.

Perhaps it is to cover up the fact that what they actually mean is not champagne but prosecco.

Or at least likely to lead to a prosecution.
