By Conservative Party Conference on Oct 4, 10 03:16 PM in

Alun Thorne writes...Amusement at event hosted by financial services champions TheCityUK when chair and host Stuart Popham turned up late for his own event. Turned out he was sat three seats along from David Cameron for the Chancellor's speech in the main conference hall and didn't want the PM to think he had taken umbrage to the contents of George's speech. Eventually managed to sneak out during third ovation apparently.
