""In Case of an Emergency""

"East Anglian Ambulance Service have launched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign with the support of Falklands war hero Simon Weston and in association with Vodafone's annual life savers award.

The idea is that you store the word "ICE" 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 - everyone can do it. Please do. It really could save your life."

Problem is, ICE is already on the phonebook.

heh..

That is a pretty cool idea.

Though just seeing 'Home' in the phone book might be enough and using common sense, but what if the person has another person they'd rather be contacted?

In my phone book I have my parents numbers obviously under 'Mum' 'Pops' 'Mum and dad Home'

If anything happened to me I'd rather them contact my boyfriend-who is just plain old 'David' in my phone book-because (a) I live with him and (b) I live far from my parents and wouldn't want them worrying unnecessarily.

But yeah...seems like a good idea.

I do agree it's a good idea, assuming the hospital person can navigate or get in to your phone in the first place.

what if you were beaten up and mugged? they took your phone :(

"hi its amblnce drvr ur kid broke lgz, in cma, pls come 2 hsptl now thx"

Okay, so, maybe "it could save your life" is going a bit far but I was just copying and pasting the email I got.

For some people it could be a good idea, but for the rest of you "comedians" ... maybe not - get over it.

I got this e-mail Timmargh i haven't done it though, if i am likely to die i would have a message saying

ICE - 'It was Shiggy please prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law'

Hurrah for incest

It happens, except exchange "ALL THE RICE CRISPIES" with "MY WIFE OUT".
