Nope. You can just wear something (necklace, wrist band, etc) with your
condition and treatment. Ambo & Casualty nurses look for these as a
matter of course.

Well, that would certainly help with cemetry space in the futere.
Portable cremation and post hole digger combined {:-). There is a Cobb
cartoon of the 70's where this combine thing rolls along the break down
lane spewing scrap metal and bodies out into the appropriate vehicle.

I think penicillin would only be administered in hospitals, so pay a
visit to your local casualty and ask them what is best method of
alerting them to this.

I think in the past, someone has suggested also writing the details on
your bicycle helmet.

Nope. Remember Constable plod can search you under some circumstances
(friendly doggies) and it is a bad offence to give false information,
which he would know if he found the ID and it didn't correspond with
what you told him. Otherwise, you might get a tour of the gaol,
fingerprinted, DNA sampled and cavity search (just cos they can) on
suspiscion that your a druggie and that is stolen property.

The point is, that ambos and hospitals don't care who you are, they just
want to know about any specials and most ID in this country doesn't help
them.

I think the chains, etc are a better idea as they are less likely to
come out of pockets or be stored in handlebar bags, etc.

Think yerself lucky, they kids always hit me for an ice-cream,
sometimes a drink, and if they think I'm cashed-up hot chips too.

Guess one of these days I should unhitch the trailer, but where'd
the fun be in that.
