What kind of better care do you suggest?

Maybe we should all be tagged so that we can be found if we get lost. Remember the child that went missing not long ago? It's panic stations for parents when they can't find a child. OK it I understand that it may not prevent someone getting into danger but if it cuts down on the hours of worry by helping to find someone sooner............ I suppose we'll never agree on it any more than people agree on the need for elderly relatives to be in sheltered housing etc. I'd just personally rather be safe than sorry.

If the person you wish to trace is a relative that you are only mildly concerned about PRESS 2.

If the person is known to disappear for days on end and comes back smelling of beer, DON'T PRESS ANYTHING IT'S YOUR HUSBAND, YOU NEED RELATE!

If the person has gone missing with one of our tags and we don't manage to find them you will be responsible for reimbursing the full cost of the missing piece of equipment, PRESS 3........hello? HELLOOO? No they've rung off again!:D

That's made my day. Brilliant! :D
