Quite easily done. You can file fares that valid or not valid for sale in a particular market by using ATPCO Fare Category 15. 
The UK agents would have been able to issue the same fares as the EU agents had they switched to a different Office ID on their Selling Platform but I doubt I would allow this if I were BA's Director of Sales.

I’ve never seen a BA fare filed that applies sales restrictions within Europe.
It is supposed to be illegal to price-discriminate based on an agent’s or customer’s residence within the EU (EC 1008/2008 Article 23 (2)) although not many carriers seem to worry about it.

I've had to phone in to book a flight set that wasn't bookable online, I was clearing talking to a call center in the UK and was booking flights that originated in Canada. At first they quoted me in GBP, then I asked for it in CAD and that was no problem to switch.
