David Cameron forgets daughter at pub for 15 mins

London - David Cameron mistakenly left his eight-year-old daughter in a pub by herself and drove off without her, it was revealed on Sunday night.

The British Prime Minister, who had been enjoying Sunday drinks with his family near Chequers, finally realised that his eldest daughter was missing when he arrived back at his official country residence.

The Camerons had been drinking at the Plough Inn, in Buckinghamshire, with their three children and two other families.

As they went to leave, Nancy went off to the toilet without informing them.

The Prime Minister was driven back to Chequers, which is two miles from the pub, with protection officers in one car, while his wife Samantha drove their other children in another.

Cameron presumed that Nancy was in the car with Samantha while she thought that their daughter had jumped in with the Prime Minister.

A spokesman for the Prime Minister said that he was ‘distraught’ when he realised what had happened.

“Thankfully when they phoned the pub she was there safe and well,” the Daily Mail quoted the spokesman as saying.

“The Prime Minister went down straight away to get her,” he said.

When Cameron arrived back at the pub he found his daughter happily helping the pub staff.

It is believed that she had been left all by herself for 15 minutes.

“You’d have thought that someone would have done a headcount or something,” the Sun quoted a pub insider as saying.

“It’s not like you can look up David Cameron in the phonebook and then ring to say you’ve left your daughter behind.

“It’s frightening that the Prime Minister of Britain can forget something so important as his own daughter,” the source added.
