increase our overseas fees by £1000?”
“Vice-Chancellor, of course! This way our intake of students will remain at the same level as when our fees were £1000 cheaper, and so our revenues from providing such valuable and desirable courses will remain unchanged!”

“Vice-Chancellor, grave news I fear”
“Hmm? Oh – Bursar, I hadn’t noticed you (being too preoccupied with fanciful ivory tower notions etc)”

I mean it’s presumably a self-description from the people involved in the action so I shouldn’t quibble, I’ve just never heard used in the “dateline: Boulder Colorado” phrasing (I well know it’s used where people describe as being “from the North of Ireland”)

Whilst I appreciate the gesture, giving a location as “, North of Ireland” just seems very funny to me
