Who thinks that Nick Clegg gets a raw deal?

Today at 6:35 PM

Nick Clegg walked into a branch of HSBC to cash a cheque. As he approached the cashier he said, "Good morning, could you please cash this cheque for me?"

Cashier: "It would be my pleasure, Sir. Could you please show me your ID?"

Clegg: "Well I didn't bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was any need to. I am Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister!!!"

Cashier: "I'm sorry, but with all the regulations, monitoring, of the banks because of impostors and forgers, etc., I must insist on proof of identity."

Clegg: "Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am."

Cashier: "I am sorry, Deputy Prime Minister, but those are the bank rules and I must follow them."

Clegg: "I need this cheque cashed."

Cashier: "Perhaps there's another way: one day Colin Montgomery came into the bank without ID. To prove he was Colin Montgomery he pulled out his putting iron and made a beautiful shot across the bank into a cup. With that shot we knew him to be Colin Montgomery and cashed his cheque.

"Another time, Andy Murray came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racquet and made a fabulous shot where the tennis ball landed in my cup. With that spectacular shot we cashed his cheque . . . .

"So sir, what can you do to prove that you, and only you, are the Deputy Prime Minister?"

Clegg stood there thinking and finally said: "Honestly, I can't think of a single thing I'm especially good at."

Cashier: "Will that be large or small notes, Deputy Prime Minister?"
