Dave,

This seems like a pretty sensible thing that's come out of last week's
bombings here in London - simple way to help the emergency services in
case of a recurrence, by entering your next of kin under "I C E" in your
mobile (see below). 

Also glad to report that Londoners' desire to use the tube seems largely
unaffected - feels good to use it. 

* Forwarded mail *: 

East Anglian Ambulance Service has launched a national 'In case of
Emergency 
(ICE)' campaign.

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 that everyone can do it. Please do.

Please also forward this to everybody in your address book, it won't
take 
too many 'forwards' before everybody will know about this. For more than
one 
contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.
