Title: In Case Of Emergency
Post by: Ricardo on July 15, 2005, 06:57:34 PM

Following the disaster in London . . .

East Anglian Ambulance Service have launched a national "In case of Emergency ( ICE ) " campaign with the support of Falklands war hero Simon Weston.

The idea is that you store the word " I C E " in your mobile phone address book, and against it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted "In Case of Emergency".

In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them. It's so simple that everyone can do it.

It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.
For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.

Only problem, Riccardo, is that as no one loves me, I have no loved ones mind to put at rest. if I find someone to love me though, I will bear it in mind!
