As I approached him with the suggestion “Tony?” he immediately reached out for the handshake with “Shahid, nice to meet you”.

I was just on the verge of saying “Hold on pal do I look like a Shahid” when I realised the potential ****load of trouble this may cause. I recovered my calm and just pointed out that I was somebody else.

Minefield.
