UK sitcom from 1991 refers to ppl being on "amber alert" about an upcoming birth.

the term for abducted children dates to 1996 in the US, and was coined for someone named amber. the program has since spread to several other countries, including the UK between 2002 (regional) and 2007 (nationwide).

so what the heck would "amber alert" mean in 1991 britain?!

isn't the "yellow" light on a traffic signal described as "amber" in the UK? so could "amber alert" mean "slow down" or something?

has anyone -- UK or otherwise -- ever heard the term outside of the "kidnapped child" context?

In the British National Health Service, in obstetrics, an Amber Alert refers to increased demand on bed capacity and/or staffing.

Read this document for more info.

beautiful! now THAT is what i call an answer!!

but isn't this confusing, now that you've adopted our "amber alert" system for child abductions? i would think the LAST thing a hospital would need is someone shouting "Amber Alert!" in a maternity ward....

oh, and it was the OFAH finale, btw. in case ur curious.

-----
still curious -- what colour are ur traffic lights? red, yellow, green in the US, but i have heard "orange" and "amber" for the middle one SOMEWHERE.... (canada?)

Red, yellow and GREEN here in the states.

alexora · 29th May 2015, 22:44

In the UK we have Red, Green and Amber.

Here, as an example, is a BBC story that refers to this colour as used in traffic lights.

Well, to be fair, I don't think increased demand on bed capacity and/or staffing is going to cause doctors and nurses running around hospital wards shouting "Amber Alert!".

It is more a question of a box being ticked on a form in order to move patients to other facilities.

Besides, the NHS use predates that in place for missing children at risk.

yeah, i realize that -- it's just unfortunately that the phrase for "need some more help in the natal ward" has come to also mean "BABYNAPPING IN PROGRESS!!!!" these days....

is the abduction alert system universally known there now? or still kind of police jargon?

in the US, it's a pretty household term nowadays. which is why the OFAH usage really caught my ear**.

** as opposed to the 87 other terms per episode i have no clue about. ponies and syrups and barneys, oh my!

Most of the Amber Alert road signs I have ever seen here in TX say "missing elderly". I always read the signs in case it's my parents. My mom can't see well enough to drive any more and my dad sometimes has mental lapses.

There was a case a couple of years ago of a couple trying to drive from Houston to nearby Katy. They ended up running out of gas in the Florida panhandle. You'd think they would have noticed they were going the wrong direction when they got to Baton Rouge, which is about a 4-5 hour drive.

Yep, I worry that my parents might end up in the Atchafalaya Basin without realizing they had ever left Texas.

very interesting. i thot they were restricted to juveniles, so as not to dilute the effect. cannot say as i have ever seen "missing elderly", but then again, i'm not on the highways much. my experience with amber alerts is mostly what i see on TV....

i believe amber is a very popular name among models, strippers, and porn stars, btw. i would be quite grateful if someone alerted me when one of them is in my car!

"Amber" in English is the same thing as "Electra" in ancient Greek. Plato wrote about static electricity and amber.
