Here's one of those curveballs that party leaders sometimes get chucked at them in an election campaign.
The Tory leader visited Kingston Hospital's highly-rated maternity unit this weekend. (He heaped praise on it, virtually guaranteeing it will not be axed in any NHS reorganisation, but that's another story).
Cameron dipped into a very cosy chat with the hospital radio presenter Julie Mullen. But just as the short session ended, he was presented by Ms Mullen with a special gift to take away.
Cam said that he would of course have to put it in the register of MPs' interests. To which Ms Mullen warned "Er, you may not want to...."
She then handed over her very own book: Erotic Poetry for Vegans and Vegetarians.
Cameron handles it well, joking that "I will look at my vegetable vegetable patch in a new way..You get lots of things in a campaign, but no one has ever given me Erotic Poetry for Vegans"
For a sample of the poetry link here to the London Evening Standard.
Thanks to Fiona, a London-based publishing friend and long-time vegetarian for bringing this story to my notice.
