SHOPPING 'DISASTER' FAILS TO DAMPEN OCCOMBE VISIT
When Tory supremo David Cameron did a spot of impromptu shopping at Occombe Farm's shop, he was unexpectedly caught short of cash and had to surrender his South Devon chilli.
Mr Cameron whipped a £10 note out of his pocket on arrival at the educational organic farm in Preston, Paignton, declaring his wife's dinner would be brought there as he's a 'big fan of local food'.But Mrs Cameron was to be disappointed as her high-profile husband could only afford an Occombe Farm shopping bag, goose fat and the farm's own sausages.
After lambasting the government for not doing enough to support British farmers, the Tory leader ran up a bill of £11.47, which included a jar of South Devon chilli chutney he had previously tasted.
When he saw the total he said: "Disaster, I have only got a tenner on me. I will leave the chilli jam."
Turning down offers of a £20 note from prospective parliamentary candidate Marcus Wood, he paid up the new bill of £8.47.
Mr Cameron later rued leaving his wallet and jacket in the car.
