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. Please do.

Please will you also email this to everybody in your address book, it won't
take too many 'forwards' before everybody will know about this. It really
could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.






NOT such a clever idea for Nokia users (maybe others too).

If you save the same number under two different names (like Girlfriend
and ICE), then caller ID gets confused and no longer displays the name
of the person calling because it now has a choice of two, just their
number...

Also, your G/F may take some convincing that you haven't nicknamed her
ICEqueen.

All those In Car Entertainment shops are going to get ****ed too.



I'm sure medics are clever enough to flick thru a phone and look for MUM
or DAD rather than **** about with ICE!
