I work for a voluntary sector mental health project. One of the large
voluntary organisations, formerly the National Schizophrenia Fellowship,
recently changed its name to "Rethink", a name I feel to be a little
pretentious.

I was startled to see a woman in the street wearing a T-shirt with the
slogan "RETHINK RUBBISH" printed on it. I thought for a moment that she
might be a disgruntled client of the local branch but when I asked her
ablout it she said she was a member of a local junk band. (Junk bands play
percussion instruments made out of recycled materials.)

Well, there you are. The late, grate[1], John Lennon did an L.P.
entitlified "Mind Games" and I don't suppose he was advertising
Scrabble championships in aid of the National Association of Mental
Health.



[1] Sound quality on said L.P. something to be desired.
