Slapping my forehead and calling myself an idiot, I realise now that something I didn’t think to mention in my column in this week’s M&G (“We, The Zombies”, Page 30) is that it seems absurd to pledge on behalf of anybody else. So the We x 3 thing really doesn’t work.

I’d be interested to see examples of pledges that start with “We” instead of “I”. Can’t find any myself, but can’t say that they’re not out there.
