Tennis before Obama? No 10 puzzled by Cameron snub claim

[T_i_B]

Probably the most alarming thing about this is the PM associating with the ever so slightly sleazy Charlie Brooks.

A Downing Street source has said officials are "scratching their heads" over claims that the PM once told President Barack Obama he would phone back because he was playing tennis.

Prime Minister David Cameron's friend Charlie Brooks said they were in the middle of a game at Chequers when the US president phoned.

The PM opted to reject the call and play the third set, Mr Brooks claimed.

He told the Racing Post: "I played tennis with him at Chequers one day. I won the first set easily, then he won the second set, and then someone came up to him and said, 'Er, Mr Obama is on the phone for you, prime minister.' I thought, 'OK, we'll have to leave it there.' But he said, 'I think we've got time for a third set - tell Mr Obama I'll ring him back.' He obviously thought he had me on the ropes. And I beat him two sets to one."
