I must say, I'm relieved to hear about the dog-tags. I've been dishing out money to the Samaritans for, ooh, years now, and I was starting to wonder what exactly was in it for me. I'm not saying I was actually planning to cancel my super-generous, £10-a-month, direct-debited gift to the friends of the telephonically desperate; but I'd begun to notice that they'd done precious little, recently, to win the support and loyalty of London's generously-disposed charity givers. No wristband, no plastic flower, no pashmina, absolutely bugger-all. And then came the news of the Samaritans' top wheeze. They will henceforth be raising funds by selling GI identity tags in shops for £2, having learned from God-knows-which style clairvoyant that these little metal rectangles will be the must-have fashion item of the summer.
