Following the 7/7/05 disaster in London . . .
The London 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.
For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.

SITES WITH A SEA VIEW
You often see enquiries in the caravan forums about sites with a sea view. This privately-published directory may fit the bill very well indeed. It is written by Michael M Leahy, who explains, "The reason that I wrote the guide was that I had become fed up with booking a seaside site for a holiday on the strength of a wonderful picture of a sea view only to find when I got there that the sea view was a figment of the imagination of the writer of the advertisement copy. I decided that I would write a guide purely for sites where you could pitch with a view of the sea so when I got the chop/redundant off I set round the coast of Britain in an elderly motorcaravan eventually finishing up finding close to 400 sites. I am sure that there are more sites to be found and I hope that those who buy the guide will tell me off the ones that I missed so that I can build a definitive guide of sites with a sea view."
The guide is called "Sea View Camping and Caravan Sites in Britain" and is £7.00 inclusive of postage with cheques to: Brian M. Leahy 26 Hanney Road, Steventon, Abingdon, Oxon OX13 6AL. More Info
