A MAN has sparked hilarity online after submitting a photo of comedy legend Ford Kiernan for his rail card.
When Craig Baillie found he didn't have a suitable photo of himself when applying for his railcard, he decided to go tongue in cheek with a Chewing The Fat homage and so sent a snap of Kiernan's beloved character Ronald Villiers.
Now Craig will be able to enjoy the flexibility of a season pass for rail while in the guise of jobbing actor Ronald (represented by Widdecombe and Pump for all interested).
Can't believe they actually accepted this photo and sent it out 😂😂 Craig Baillie fae Widdecombe and Pump pic.twitter.com/8Dvb6y7qy2

Unsurprisingly social media reacted with a great deal of amusement at the identity swap, with some suggesting other potential aliases.
