[quote]The Prime Minister was attempting to defuse accusations his ministers are "out of touch" over the new tax on hot baked foods."I'm a pasty eater myself," he said at an event about the Olympics. "I go to Cornwall on holiday. I love a hot pasty. I think the last one I bought was from the West Cornwall Pasty Company. I seem to remember I was in Leeds station at the time. The choice was to have one of their small ones or their large ones. I've got a feeling I opted or the large one and very good it was too."
However, it soon emerged the West Cornwall Pasty Company closed its outlet in 2007, exposing holes in the Prime Minister's anecdote.
A Downing Street spokesman admitted the Prime Minister may have bought his snack from a different outlet, or even a different city.
"Anyone who has been on these kinds of visits with the Prime Minister will know it is a regular occurence," he said. "It could have been a Cornish Bakehouse. I don't know if necessarily it was even Leeds."[/quote]

Mr Cameron just doesn't know where he ate his pasty!
I love how this is news.
How the fuck is this news
I thought the title meant he was having an affair with an albino or something.
"I ate a pasty once. There was even street urchins in the shop"
And I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday. Why is this news?
They expect him to recall every specific detail about a snack he ate last year?
David Cameron needs to stop with this "look how in touch with the common man I am" shtick. It's not fooling anyone.
He might as well say "I'm not racist, I've got friends who are black!"
our pm is so in touch with the pasty eating youth of today~~~

Wow, there's a video in the article and it's really weird, he really does just go off on this rant about the last time he ate a pasty

Hahahaha there's also a video of George Osborne being asked about his pasty experience, I don't even know what politics is anymore

To be fair though, pasties are tremendously fucking unhealthy.

He went into too much detail when he was quizzed about the so called 'Pasty Tax' and now the answer he gave during that event is seemingly full of holes. Why go into so much detail about something you know is bollocks in the first place? That's why he's getting shit for this.
