Head lice in Downing Street

British Prime Minister David Cameron has warned visitors to Downing Street to look out for nits after two of his children came home from school with head lice.

Mr Cameron told journalists arriving for a briefing that if they found their heads were itching, it was down to his daughter Nancy, seven, and son Arthur, four.

“If you find them when you get home, I apologise. Let me know and and I’ll send you a comb and some ointment,� he was reported as saying.

Mr Cameron’s spokesman dismissed suggestions that the problem was spreading through No 10.

“I think it is contained,� he said.

ICK is right. We had an epidemic of "Nits" over the Summer. Very common here.
