Vouchers have Noel looking back in anger...

NOEL Gallagher has called for supermarket vouchers to be ‘outlawed’ and told how shoppers who use them make him go ‘a bit Paul Calf’.

In an hilarious interview with BBC 6Music, the Oasis star described how he found himself behaving like Steve Coogan’s student-hating cult character while in the queue at Waitrose.

Noel was appearing on drivetime host Steve Lamacq’s show during his Noel’s Noel Christmas feature, where he picks some of his favourite music from the last 12 months.

He launched into the rant when Lamacq mentioned that one of the things that irritated him this year was bar staff who ‘get a bit huffy’ when customers pay with cash instead cards.

Noel replied: “It’s slightly annoying when you go to the supermarket and somebody is trying to pay for a load of stuff with vouchers.

“Not to get too Paul Calf about this right, but I was in a Waitrose the other day round the corner from my house and I was looking down the queue, like ‘What’s going on down there?’

“There was a guy who had an extraordinary amount of oranges, for some reason, I don’t know why, and a load of vouchers.

“It did bring me back to Paul Calf when he used to say ‘There’s a student in the chippy and he’s paying with a cheque’, and I was kind of getting a bit Paul Calf about it.

“Vouchers? Come on. Who has vouchers these days? Nonsense. They should be outlawed.”

Noel also revealed he’s booked a week off for the Champions League final in June, in case City get there for the first time in the club’s history.
