Thai premier gets soccer jersey
Britain's ambassador to Thailand presented new prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva with a Newcastle United football shirt yesterday to mark the Thai leader's links with the city of his birth.
At a formal ceremony of congratulations, ambassador Quinton Quayle handed over the famous black-and-white striped shirt complete with the number 27 - because the Eton- and Oxford-educated Abhisit is Thailand's 27th premier.
