'Gerald unashamedly sought the label before he would even contemplate wearing an item; for him, the name of the maker was more important than the intrinsic value or look of the garment so that friends often accused him of being a walking advert for his favourite designers.'

'Don't you dare label me a 'thief' just because I habitually download music, books and pictures without paying for them.' said Sandra.
