With:
Name and date of birth. Address and Postcode Home Tel Nr Work Tel Nr No
allergies and NI number Personal slogan



At the risk of topic drift...

A quick google revealed there are hundreds (at least)
of medial-information-jewelry items
("medical alert" seems the current jargon)

But I'm sure when I was (ahem) much younger
there was only one, and it advertised A LOT
in colour supplements, readers digest etc.

Can anyone help me with the name/brand?

MedAlert is the first name that springs to mind.

There was a very popular device marketed as being efficient against
becoming pregnant. Only thing is that the thick buggers that bought in
to the scam tended to believe that a metal band on a finger worked just
as well as a bit of latex.

some areas.

I hate this kind of "I think I heard" stuff on USENET.

So here's something with authority ;-)
