Thanks Martin,
I have passed on your requirements to the venue.
Actually in Yorkshire, we call it t'shop but I said t'store for t'sake o' daft foreign buggers.

Alex is just being non-EU vernacular friendly.
Shops are still called shops, and "off-license", though I've lived here for 8 years and I still don't know why that confusing term persists. I asked several Brits on-the-spot, and no one knew what it actually meant without Googling it. "I think it means they sell alcohol." Was a common reply. :)
Even in the soggy foggy, ymmv. ;)
