Anything that helps vulnerable people to be more aware is most welcome

A good idea for sure

On a personal level, there will be no participating pubs in my little village.....

Nearest to me in a large city is over 5 miles away or 3 miles if I cross a toll bridge.

Yes everything is geared up for the big city dwellers. Priority being the case in question.

Absolutely uselesss to me apart from 20 years of entering prize draws without so much as a sniff at winning a thing

O2 Priority and similar apps such as Three+ are great for anyone who lives in an urban area and with Greggs and Caffe Nero in the vicinity. I cannot recall the name of the Vodaphone app, but I believe that offers Costa, so that is similar.  

I sympathise with those living in rural areas.
