I reckon most of ye already know about this useful App but i thought oi'd share it as some may not have heard of it. Looks to be useful and in my case my postcode can take delivery drivers and potentially emergency services (cake / dildo deliveries etc) up to 1 mile away from my actual house but with this App it shud bring them to me door.

Hadn't heard of it . Until. ..a customer was riding her hoss in deepest darkest Dorset when a hornet spooked/stung her hoss, she fell off and the hornet then stung her (already a bad day).



Then she went in to analprolap....err Anna theatric....err shock. She was found unconscious some time later by a hiker who called ambulance but they unsurprisingly couldn't find the gateway between two fields!!!!



Anyways she survived and was advised to get this app ...which came in handy a year later when both her and hoss fell through a railway sleeper bridge and into a ditch!!!!



Forgot what it was called. Gonna download it today, ta for reminder.

I've got it now and could have done with it when I came across an accident not too far from home - I didn't have my satnav, didn't know the name of the road and eventually managed to direct the Ambulance by the names of the pubs at each end of the road.

 

Pub names was the old way of directing people but with so many closing down it don't work so well!


And on the subject of dangerous 4 legged transport my neighbour and his daughter both have bikes but only his wife has had a trip in an air ambulance - thanks to Dobbin

Have it on my phone & hope I never need it. Potentially a life saver. :good:

 

FYI  only good if ES use it wherever you happen to be & you can get a phone/ES signal.= useless in the wilds of Romania etc.(unless a lot of masts have gone up since my last visit).
