What a Palava

But if his attire was treading over slightly old ground, his actual entrance wasn't, as this time he arrived in a chariot rather than a sedan chair. Unfortunately, as the chariot approached Leicester Square, it was brought to a halt by the bollards at the entrance as no vehicles are allowed in without permission from the council. Thus, Hellmuth alighted his chariot and was forced to walk the rest of the way.
Accompanied by scantily clad women and the returning big burly men (this time carrying armour), Hellmuth approached the Empire Casino, his head held high as passers by asked, "Is he a celebrity?" and an elderly woman exclaimed, "Who is that man?!"
And things didn't get much better at the casino. As Hellmuth tried to enter the venue, he was stopped at the door by the manager who told him that the young ladies couldn't come in because they didn't have I.D. Resisting entrance tilt, Hellmuth accepted the decision, and after much faffing around, finally entered the arena with a depleted entourage and took his seat.
