This driving licence wasn't fooling anybody at beer festival

If you're going to use fake ID to try to get a drink, you should probably be more subtle about it than this…

A man at a beer festival in Derbyshire attracted suspicion when he demanded 'I want that one' while mimicking Matt Lucas's Andy character from Little Britain.
