I found an article in the Evening Standard this week very amusing. David Cameron was pictured on the London Tube with a lady of obvious Asian origin.
Apparently he ventured out on the Jubilee Line, obviously having half the carriage reserved as there’s never enough room to take photos when I travel on it.
The article told how he went to this lady, who hailed from India where she’s a relatively successful actress, and made a standard politician’s comment on the bonniness of her baby. She was a little wary of this strange man and when he went away asked her husband who he was – That’s the British prime Minister – he replied. She told him off for taking the mickey until she realised from the accompanying entourage that her hubby was telling the truth.
She then felt the need to go and apologise for not recognising such a famous man.
I sympathise, not sure I’d recognise the Indian Prime Minister if he was sitting next to me on the Tube.
