Catters outside the UK may not have heard this week's wonderful musical story, which the BBC found entertaining enough to carry on several radio news bulletins.

On Thursday night, a famous orchestra was playing at one of our British concert halls, when, in the middle of a piece, the unforgiveable happened... a mobile phone rang in the audience.

The conductor stopped the orchestra, put down his baton, turned to the audience and said: 'if that's my wife, tell her I'm not here!'
