Clinton forgets small matter of the bill

Last updated: 15 Dec 2000 09:52 GMT (Reuters)

LONDON (Reuters) - U.S.
President Bill Clinton enjoyed
a pub lunch in London's
trendy Notting Hill area -- and
then left without paying the
bill, newspapers reported on
Friday.

"They bloody well did not pay
the bill," pub owner Mike Bell was quoted as saying by
the Guardian.

"But I have got the address of someone in America I
can send the bill to," Bell said.

Clinton chatted to staff and customers at the
Portobello Gold pub on Thursday as he and his
entourage tucked into a menu that included prawns,
smoked trout and pecan nut pate, the newspapers
said.

He washed down his meal with half a pint of organic
beer before leaving without paying the check --
which came to 24.70 pounds.

But the U.S. leader needn't worry.

Britain's mass circulation The Mirror said it had
stepped in and covered his tab.

The Mirror quoted a happier sounding Bell as saying:
"I wouldn't quite say he did a runner. I just don't think
it occurred to him to pay."

Clinton, who was in London as part of a visit to Britain
and the Irish Republic, dropped into the pub after
spending the morning having tea with the Queen at
Buckingham Palace.
