Mr Cameron once had a highly lucrative career in marketing/advertising, and, quite understandably, is ever on the lookout for an even better photo opportunity, like butting in on a 'selfie' with President Obama and the gorgeous ex-Prime Minister of Denmark at a funeral. Beat that Jeremy Corbyn!
Furthermore, all the available photographic evidence shows that he appears to be rather good at it ... :the camera NEVER lies, Flossie!

Unfortunately (or fortunately?) there doesn't seem to be a place with that name, whereas there are two 'Twatts' (at least) in the UK - on Orkney, & Shetland. It is, apparently a word of Norse origin, becoming 'Thwaite' in England. Perhaps that opens up new possibilities for Parliamentary insults? "The honourable member is a complete thwaiite." (Although I dislike sexist insults; something that will, no doubt, surprise you, ScottyTipps)

Seen in a church south of the Channel: an exasperated French cleric tackles the problem of people failing to switch their phones to 'silent'
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Chers clients,

This I could understand perfectly, but I was mystified by:
In an environmental worry, we invite you to economize it purpose of toilet. Thank you for putting the towels that you like to reuse on door-towel and those who must be down changed.
