Given that the UK has just vetoed a key EU treaty it's not surprising that Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy are a little miffed with each other.
Still, you might still expect the two leaders to face their relationship issues like adults.
Apparently even that has proven too difficult, after the French leader gave Cameron the cold shoulder (or le battre froid) after a long night of intense negotiation.
The act, dubbed 'le snub' by The Daily Mail and some other newspapers, saw the French leader refuse to look at Cameron, turning with a haughty shuffle and avoiding his outstretched hand.
Cameron's veto blocked a crucial EU treaty designed to deal with the eurozone crisis. The treaty is now likely to be abandoned, but the 17 eurozone countries will continue to negotiate a separate stability pact and nine of the 10 EU members not in the single currency have chosen to endorse that process.
The UK will be the only EU member left outside the deal, the Council of Europe has indicated, despite earlier suggestions that Sweden, Hungary and the Czech Republic would not take part.
