SOME years ago, the late Princess Margaret paid a visit to Stirling University in Scotland.
She was expected to make a speech but it transpired that she had forgotten to bring the transcript with her.
On overhearing the resultant conversation, a professor remarked: “Fax it up.” To which the Princess reputedly responded by saying: “Yes, it does rather.”
