LIBERAL Democrat leader Nick Clegg found himself in a bit of a pickle yesterday, Wednesday, after mixing up Stroud and Strood.
The Deputy Prime Minister made the gaffe during his weekly radio show Call Clegg on LBC, which had been moved a day early due to the by-election in Rochester & Strood.
Sue from Stroud was the show’s first caller and Mr Clegg greeted her by saying: "Hello Sue, you've got an election on tomorrow haven't you?"
She replied: "Er, well..." before Nick Ferrari corrected him: "No, that's Strood, Deputy Prime Minister."
