I've been selected "as a senior citizen" by Westminster Council for a free test year of their safety check Alertacall service - a button on the phone to press every day to let them know you're OK - if they don't hear from you, they send someone round to see if you're OK.
A good idea except most "seniors" like myself tend to get forgetful!
Only 50 people have been chosen for this first test year. At random.

I'm intrigued. I've been racking my brains as to how something of this nature can be proven to be truly random and haven't come up with anything.
I've even done some quick and lazy research and reckon the odds of you being chosen randomly are just less than 600/1. This of course would apply to everyone else over 60 in Westminster, so who knows.

So what if you want to go on holday or something? Its a good idea in theory, I mean people who live on their own if they have a heart attack and become unconscious there is knowone there to call the authorities, they could just lie there and rot.
