Use of faraway

Hi

I heard David Cameron use faraway something like this.

David Letterman: Do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions?

David Cameron: Faraway.

Is the use natural both in AmE and BrE?

Thanks,

Tom

The expression is not "faraway" but "fire away", meaning "Shoot", in other words go ahead and ask me a couple of questions". A common expression, and very natural.
