The waitress Vs Cameron: Prime Minister on holiday asks for three coffees... and cafe worker tells him 'I'm busy, get them yourself'

By Nick Pisa


He prides himself on his 'common touch' when it comes to politics but even David Cameron might think being asked to muck in at a local cafe is going a bit far.

The Prime Minister, who is on holiday in Tuscany with his family, ordered a round of coffees at a village cafe - and was told to get them himself.

Cameron had asked the waitress, 27-year-old Francesca Ariani, if she would bring the drinks to a table outside where he was sitting with wife Samantha and a Downing Street aide.

She snapped that she was too busy, leaving the PM to do the job of delivering the cappuccinos to the terrace of the Dolcenero bar in Montevarchi.

Miss Ariani said: 'I’m so embarrassed. I didn’t know it was the British Prime Minister. I’m so sorry if I appeared rude - I didn’t mean to be. It’s just that I was on my own and really busy.

'He asked for two cappuccinos and an espresso and said he would be at a table outside but I just said he would have to take them out himself because I was behind the bar.'

It seems that the Prime Minister was left less than impressed with the service.

The waitress added: ’I made them for him and he waited and then took them outside with his wife. He was there for about five minutes and then left - he paid with a 50 euro note but didn’t leave a tip.

'I suppose that was fair enough as I hadn’t taken them to the table but still he could have left the odd coins.'

The Camerons are on holiday at a £10,000-a-week villa with two other families. They arrived on Saturday, landing at nearby Florence Airport on a British Airways flight from London City Airport having travelled in business class.

The 15-bedroom villa is on the Petrolo wine estate and is close to the village of Bucine where Sting and wife Trudie Styler have a home.

A smaller house on the estate has been taken over by Cameron's security team.

The villa features in Jamie Oliver's cookbook, Jamie's Italy.

The chef is a close friend of Petrolo’s owner Luca Sanjust and visits every year with a team of his students.

Mr Sanjust said: 'They are just enjoying themselves by the pool. They have played tennis and are spending time relaxing.'

The 300-year-old property has a private garden, swimming pool and tennis court.

There is also a billiards room, lake, working vineyard and olive groves.

The PM is paying his family's £5,800 share of the bill for the two-week stay out of his own pocket.

During his brief visit to Montevarchi on the first morning of his trip, Cameron was presented with the town's coat of arms by Mayor Francesco Grasso.

Mr Grasso also suggested a couple of tourist attractions to the PM including several museums and churches, along with a Prada outlet store on the outskirts of the town.

Maybe it was something to do with his dress sense that led to the Italian mayor's suggestion.

During the public walkabout in the Italian village, Cameron opted for a rather bizarre off-duty look of crumpled shirt in navy, a pair of black trousers and his creased black work brogues - minus the socks.

You've been busted! Cheeky website catches out men trying to have a sneaky peek at women's chests

By Anna Edwards


This leering lot have been bust-ed after sneaking a peek at the breasts of these girls who are oblivious of the attention their chests are attracting.

A website has collected pictures of the upfront males - both young and old - who have been caught sneakily gawking at the girls' cleavages.

And while they try to subtly steal a glance, the unwitting female in the snap beams at the camera.

Bet she wasn't breast-pleased: This sly admirer leans in for a peek

Not very gentlemanly: As this pretty girl poses for her picture, her male companion has other things on his mind

Eye-popping: This young man is clearly enjoying the view

Just creepy: This ogler takes the opportunity to check out his lady friend's bosom

Wishful thinking: This young man gets probably the closest he ever will to this gorgeous woman

They're just not that into you: One excitable youngster brazenly ogles the girls... who don't seem the most thrilled to pose with him

Subtlety is too tall an order: The low-cut top was clearly too much for this reveller


The ogling lotharios range from one surreptitiously peering over a girl's shoulder with an admiring glance to one blatantly staring while a pretty young woman gazes into the lens.

And while a few clearly thought they were being hilarious for staring at a girl's bosom, perhaps their partners might not see the funny side.

Those caught on film will be feeling like they've made a bit of a boob of themselves.

But they'll probably be more concerned with explaining their stolen glances to the girls in the photographs.

But perhaps they'll be more anxious to appease their wives and girlfriends who will not be breast-pleased to see their ogling partners.

The website AcidCow.com published the pictures and invited visitors to submit their photographic evidence of the men in action.

This (not so) charming man: Perhaps this partygoer thought the combination of his ogling and necklace would woo his busty companion

Completely unaware: One reveller makes a boob of himself by focusing on his friend's chest instead of the camera

In shock and awe: Clearly this ogler got more than he bargained for while he brazenly gawks at these women's assests

Appreciative glance: While these women chat away, little did they know they had an unwanted admirer appraising them

Grabbing the opportunity: While this oblivious woman looks away, her friend picks the perfect moment to leer at her

Look while you can... This cunning young man is caught drooling over the girls

Not one for her photo album... But a picture to treasure for this opportunistic youngster

Sharing the love: Jenson Button celebrates his 200th Grand Prix with girlfriend Jessica Michibata and teammate Lewis Hamilton

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Group hug: Jenson Button celebrates his Hungarian Grand Prix win with teammate Lewis Hamilton and girlfriend Jessica Michibata at the Hungaroring race track in Mogyorod

After winning the Hungary Grand Prix and driving in his 200th Grand Prix, Jenson Button was on top of the world today.

And after clinching pole position in Budapest, the 31-year-old was certainly sharing the love as he joined his girlfriend and teammate Lewis Hamilton for a group hug.

As he joined the McLaren team for a group celebration, Button and Michibata were pulled together by an over-enthusiastic Hamilton.


One big happy McLaren family: Button was joined by his father John (front left) while Hamilton was accompanied by his brother Nicholas (back left)

With Button still in his white driving uniform, he was surrounded by the McLaren team, Michibata and his father John all wearing the familiar red McLaren T-shirts.

Despite being surrounded by dozens of people, affectionate Button was spotted sharing a few kissing with his stunning Japanese model girlfriend.

After pipping Germany's Sebastian Vettel to the post, Button's win is his second of the season.

He wrote on his Twitter page: 'Woohoo!! I think that win deserves a little celebration! What do u think!?

'Big love to the whole of #TeamButton for all there support. #winners ;-))


Team effort: Button celebrates with the whole McLaren Mercedes team after his victory

'My fans rock!! Thanks for all your lovely congrats messages. Enjoy the summer break and we'll come back and do the same at Spa! ;-).'

Hamilton himself didn't too badly, ending up in fourth place, but was clearly still feeling high from winning the Spanish Grand Prix the previous weekend.

He said today: 'Jenson was pushing me hard the whole race and the better man won today.

'I was struggling a lot with the graining on my left front tyres. I don't know whether that was my fault by pushing too hard....


Not very intimate: Michibata pulls Button in for a kiss, despite being surrounded by his teammates

He's a granddad at 29, she's a granny at 30 (and the child's mother is only 14): The baby with Britain's youngest grandparents

-Maternity nurses thought Shem Davies was so fresh-faced they asked him to prove he was over the age of 16 before he could see his grandchild
-He thinks the teenage father of the child is a 'decent young man'
-Young mum Tia admits 'she wouldn't be happy' if newborn Gracie became pregnant at 14


By Daily Mail Reporter

Happy family: Jordan, bottom left, with Tia and Gracie, and proud grandparents Shem and Kelly


An unemployed man, 29, has become one of Britain's youngest grandparents after his daughter gave birth at 14.

Shem Davies and his former girlfriend Kelly John, 30, were overjoyed when their daughter Tia, who was born when her parents were 15, gave birth to little Gracie earlier this month. Tia's boyfriend, Jordan Williams, is 15.

Shem said: 'It is an absolute joy to see Gracie thriving. I'm incredibly proud of Tia. She'll be a brilliant mum. At first I wasn't overly pleased that she was pregnant but I soon got over than. Now it's all about being positive.


'I've got to know Jordan and he's shaping up to be a decent young man,' Shem told The People.

However, nurses at the maternity unit were left embarrassed after they thought the young grandfather was in fact the teenage father of Gracie.

Apparently when he entered the ward they thought the 29-year-old looked so fresh-faced they asked him to prove he was over the age of 16.

But the arrival of Gracie wasn't easy as Tia was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia, seven weeks before her due date.

Worried doctors decided their best option would be to deliver the tot by Caesarean section.

The condition, which often leaves expectant mothers with high blood pressure and protein in their urine, could lead to life-threatening symptoms for both mother and baby.

Tia said the contrast between the carefree fun of the school playground and then the fear of death for her and the baby was something she would never forget.

Happily after a 25 minute operation Gracie was born but only weighed 2lb and was rushed to the special care unit at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, which is close to the family home.

Little Gracie is still being kept in an incubator but has managed to put on enough weight which means she will be allowed home in a few weeks.

A week after Gracie was born Tia celebrated her 15th birthday in the ward surrounded by friends and family.

Fighter: Tiny Gracie is thriving but will be in an incubator for a few weeks

Proud parents: Jordan and Tia with their newborn daughter Gracie who was born prematurely


The teenager, who has been dating Jordan for 18 months and wants to be a hairdresser, said she didn't plan on celebrating her birthday in hospital but added that her baby daughter was the best present she could ask for.

Once mother and daughter have been released from hospital they will be staying with grandmother Kelly so that Tia can finish school.

Grandad Shem, who has a young son of his own, said he is keen to get stuck in and help Tia and Jordan settle into life.

Jordan, who sat his final GCSE just weeks before Gracie arrived, said he understands responsibility. 'I'm captain of the school rugby team and that's like having 14 kids.'

Father and daughter: Shem with his daughter Tia and granddaughter Gracie


Despite her young age, mother Tia says that she would not be happy if newborn Gracie became pregnant at 14 but that she would do as her mum did, which is respect her choice to have a child.

She also paid tribute to her mother, who was 15 when she was born, saying that she could not have wished for a better parent and role model adding that they have a very close relationship.

Britain's high teenage pregnancy rate means that many more young people in this generation are set to become grandparents in their late twenties and early thirties.

The latest figures show in 2009 38,259 girls under 18 became pregnant, but nearly 50 per cent had a termination.

The UK still leads the way when it comes to young mothers, and our rate is five-times higher than in the Netherlands and twice that of France and Spain.

Heavy night, Mike? Tindall is still in his morning suit the morning after as he emerges with his new wife Zara

By Pamela Owen


Get much sleep? Mike Tindall is seen arriving at The Palace of Holyroodhouse, wearing the same clothes he wore yesterday. Zara Phillips looked radiant in a pair of white jeans and a beige top


He's known for his love of enjoying a good party and it looks as though Mike Tindall had the time of his life after marrying Zara Phillips.

The England rugby star wore the same grey trousers and blue collared shirt he did the day before and looked as though he hadn't slept a wink.

Zara, who arrived separately from her husband, looked radiant in white jeans, flip flops and a beige sleeveless top.

Heavy night? Tindall picks his teeth as he stands next to a policeman outside Holyroodhouse


The couple have been determined to keep their wedding a private family occasion, but the crowds have been equally determined to share in their happiness during the first Royal wedding to be held in Scotland in 20 years.

Many frantically waved Union Jacks and the Scottish Saltire as the couple emerged from the ceremony shortly before 4pm yesterday, filling the air with cheers. Some, clearly touched by the splendour of the occasion, dabbed their eyes.

Zara dazzled the crowds in her full-length ivory silk gown with silk tulle detail, designed by the Queen’s favourite couturier Stewart Parvin.

The one-time Royal rebel, who proudly sported a tongue ring, looked every inch the traditional bride and this was her chance to be a princess for a day.

Her blonde hair was pulled back into an elegant chgnon and she wore a sparkling diamond tiara lent by her mother, she looked effortlessly beautiful.

Happy couple: Tindall in his suit when he married the Queen's granddaughter, Zara, in Edinburgh yesterday


Zara,30, was accompanied to the church by her proud father Captain Mark Phillips after earlier leaving in a Bentley from the Palace of Holyroodhouse several hundred yards down the Royal Mile.

The 45-minute ceremony was conducted by Canongate's resident Minister Reverend neil Gardner. A choir of 15 boys and girls from Zara's old Scottish boarding school sang during the ceremony.

The happy couple then left the Kirk in a Bentley for the 400-yard journey to Holyroodhouse for the reception.

A grand marquee was erected in a piazza of the palace and loud whoops and cheers could be heard from behind the palace walls.

Dinner had a Scottish theme and included lobster and crayfish cocktail, Scottish venison with dauphinois potatoes and chocolate fondant with strawberries.

The party was organised by Peregrine Armstrong Jones of party planners Bentley.

The Queen and Prince Philip left by helicopter and were taken to Balmoral Castle to begin their summer holiday.

Prince Charles and the Duchess or Cornwall are thought to have left before them and headed for the Caslte of Mey.

The newlyweds will not immediately head off on honeymoon as Zara will go to the Gatcombe International Horse Trials while her husband will return to training.

From Royal Rebel to vision in ivory silk: Liz Jones on Zara's rather surprising dress

By Liz Jones


Royal vision: Zara Phillips dazzled in her silk gown at her wedding to Mike Tindall and has changed since her days when she sported a tongue piercing


There was no tongue stud, thank goodness. No upstaging strumpet of a maid of honour. No horses, ceremonial or otherwise.

But the big shock was that Zara the rebel, the ordinary working girl (she has a job, and a difficult one at that; there is no more dangerous sport than eventing) has finally been tamed.

She didn’t just look pretty and romantic, when we have all become used to her wearing jeans stuffed into kinky boots and a stained rugby shirt covered in green slobber; she was wearing a gown designed by her granny’s favourite designer!

Veiled: Zara Phillips and her father Mark arrive at Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh


The ivory silk faille and duchess satin gown was made by Stewart Parvin, the Royal couturier who dresses not only the Queen – she wore his peachy pink coat and matching dress yesterday – but also Princess Anne from his atelier in Motcomb Street, in London’s Belgravia.

Parvin studied fashion at Edinburgh College of Art, then worked for society couturier Donald Campbell.

His trademark is not just simple, elegant bridalwear with few flounces, but an ability to dress rather thick-waisted matrons, covering up the bits of their bodies they’d rather keep hidden.

He has never sent a model down the catwalk wearing a bondage mask, or called a collection Highland Rape. Unlike Alexander McQueen, the late designer whose label made Kate Middleton’s gown for that other Royal Wedding, Parvin is not cerebral or dangerous or cutting edge. And amen to that.

Elegant: Sculptured bodice is giiven relief by the silk tulle concertinaed shoulder straps. Mike Tindall and Zara Phillips leave the church after their marriage


Although Kate Middleton’s wedding gown, by McQueen’s successor Sarah Burton, was dramatic, with its teardrop train, this dress, which cost about £7,000, a fifth of the price of a McQueen, is far softer and prettier.

A corset gave Zara a small waist, while her rather wide shoulders were softened by the almost sheer silk tulle concertina straps with raw edges; I’m so glad she didn’t go strapless, a style that can make athletes look a little hulking.

Because this ceremony was not in a cathedral, Zara was able to expose those rather wonderful arms, honed by all those warm-blooded steeds


The cathedral-length veil (it falls beyond the gown) was a little too bouffant, but otherwise everything was perfect.

Because this ceremony was not in a cathedral, Zara was able to expose those rather wonderful arms, honed by all those warm-blooded steeds.

Her blonde hair was in a sleek knot, and she was wearing her mother’s Greek tiara (a wedding gift to Queen Elizabeth from her mother-in-law, it was given to Princess Anne in 1972; I’m wondering whether the Greeks want it back), and carrying a rather large bouquet by London florist Paul Thomas.

Romantic: Veil and tiara complement Zara's sleek blonde hair


All in all, I’m rather glad Zara eschewed going ‘designer’, having decided to leave promoting the British fashion business to Kate, who at the moment doesn’t have much else to do. I like that Zara is going straight back into training, isn’t changing her name (it would confuse the horses), and surely won’t contemplate getting pregnant until after the Olympics.

This out-of-character, rather safe choice of couturier for her big day (I’d sort of imagined her in a draped, dramatic, over-the-top gown by Vivienne Westwood, with a tartan sash) shows a new air of maturity and confidence.

Finally, she has decided that being part of the Royal Family is not so bad, after all.

Parvin’s order book will now be full for months if not years to come – American fashion websites are already going crazy, while I’ve just been called by a buyer from Barney’s, desperate for Parvin’s mobile number – not just because of this latest Royal patronage, but because, best of all, his dress did not upstage the bride . . .

Now for my verdict on the guests...

Beatrice (left) looks relatively sane in this turquoise outfit by Angela Kelly. Meanwhile, the Countess of Wessex (right) has become a bit of a fashion plate, outclassing Helen Windsor. I love the soft pale pink, but would have swapped nude platforms for something a bit more vibrant

The Duchess of Cambridge (left) looked fabulous in a cream coat we've seen before. I don't think this outfit suits the Princess Royal's (right) personality; the jacket is too busy and curtain like, the concertina skirt too flighty. and where on earth is the hat, in among all that hair?

Liz Jones's verdict: Camilla, with Charles, predictably chose pale pistachio Anna Valentine, with very pretty pleating

That hat could pick up Radio One, Bea!

Kate's (left) floral hat is wonderfully over the top. Only a beauty can pull this off. Eugenie (right) had a lovely mix of brown and cream - but this hat could put out an eye

Beatrice (left), still smarting from the reception of her 'giant pretzel' Philip Treacy creation in April, reminds me only of a satellite dish. The Countess of Wessex (right) has bloomed into a goddess: this hat is splendid

Camilla's (left) hat is like an explosion of gypsophila, the sort of flower sold in garages. The cloche shape has always been the Queen's (right) favourite: she knows the crowd wants to see her face, so a floppy hat won't do

Olympic skeleton skier Amy Williams (left) wore a ruched dress. LIZ JONES VERDICT: She should know that the rule with nude is not to wear it top to toe, otherwise you look, well, nude! This Burberry dress is a touch too short, too. Coronation Street actress Katherine Kelly (right) - a school friend of the groom - was a ray of sunshine in her dramatic orange hat and matching clutch bag, teamed with a floaty pink dress. LIZ JONES VERDICT: This pale hanky dress is in a very 'now' length, midi, and while I like the orange picture hat, I think bare shoulders in church is a little disrespectful. Here again are the nude shoes, this time in a slingback

TV presenter Natalie Pinkham (left) stood out in a red, backless dress. LIZ JONES VERDICT: Oh Natalie, a prime example of lamb dressed as mutton. Mumsy dress, granny hat and those ubiquitous nude courts. Kirsty Gallagher (right) chose a brightly patterned dress by Joseph finishing just above the knee. LIZ JONES VERDICT: The patterned tea dress has a sexy shape but the nude (again!) accessories don't really go, while the hat is simply too small

Motor racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart, with wife Helen hidden under her hat, not only wore a kilt in Stewart Black tartan, but matching tie and socks too. LIZ JONES VERDICT: Oh dear, Helen. Beige, boxy linen. And why carry a blanket, and a clashing bag? What can I say? The cloche hat is a pretty pale pink
