    What3words

    Can I urge folk to put this app on their smartphone (assuming they have one!). In a nutshell, if you are involved in an accident on a back road out in the wilds then if you fire up this app, it will give you three words to give the emergency services and this will pinpoint your location to them down to a matter of feet.

    There've been instances where folk have gone off the road and been out of sight of those looking for them.

    More details about how this clever system works can be found here what3words.com

    Of course, it goes without saying that if there isn't any mobile signal where you have your accident then you are still stuffed !

    Many thanks for this, Anastasia. I often wonder how I would describe where I am should an accident occur on some road in the middle of nowhere.
