OT: following todays events in London

[fhmaneely]

I received an email from my nephew today that I would to pass on to 
everyone.  This applies  to all, no matter what country you hail 
from.  Terrorism is not going away, and I pray no harm comes to any 
of you .  We have had one poster affected, and the frequency of 
attacks could mean more!  I really amfondof this group, so please 
read the following:

Subject: In Case of  Emergency (ICE)

The London incident has  promoted concerns and I share with
you what one of my European colleagues  just sent. As long as
everyone knows what ICE stands for, it is not a bad  idea.
A useful thing to add to your mobile address book!

It was  thought up by an ambulance man/paramedic who found
that when they went to the  scenes of accidents there were
always mobile phones but they didn?t know  which numbers to
call and he thought that it would be a good idea if  there
was a nationally recognized name to file "next of  kin"
under.

Following the disaster in London. . . East  Anglian
Ambulance Service have launched a national "In case of
Emergency  (ICE)" campaign with the support of Falkland?s 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.  For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, 
ICE3  etc

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.

Best regards,
