This was forwarded to me: I think it's a really good idea, especially given Thursdays events 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. Please will you also forward 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.

Not for me - they're both dead. ;-( 'Next of kin' does what it says on the tin.

ICE also means 'in car entertainment' Why not simply have 'next of kin'? It's the accepted term. Signature*If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?

That it may be, though it's hardly destructive in any way (unlike a lot of the "scary" urban legends that fly around), and it _is_ actually on the East Anglian Ambulance Service's web site. Not that that means anything much. A while back Thames Valley Police (I think it was) had on their web site a warning of some scam which _was_ a well documented urban myth. Trust no-one. You know they're watching you :-) > That it may be, though it's hardly destructive in any way (unlike a > lot of the "scary" urban legends that fly around), and it _is_ [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > well documented urban myth. > Trust no-one. You know they're watching you :-) I work in the mobile industry. I've seen time and time again prank or malicious calls made to 'mum' or 'dad' or 'sexy' or whatever from people's phone books when someone's phone has been stolen.
