How do you reach Glasgow – three hours away by road – for a focus group at 8pm, when it’s already 7pm? The answer: hire the world’s fastest taxi driver, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall! We all squeezed into the Range Rover and within seconds we were off. Camilla’s faith in the safety features of the 4×4 was beyond belief. So confident was she that when turning right she did not check to the left for on-coming traffic – ever. Camilla the demon driver took some getting used to.

An earlier performance was almost as exciting. I was so impressed with SB’s speech in front of a conference audience of thousands that as a reward I threw her my precious pink corduroy hat.
