Good Old Samuel Plimsoll !

Occasionally a person comes a long that invents something simple to help a lot of people. So was Samuel Plimsoll. Rather than sitting on the side-lines he got involved in solving the plight of the over-loaded sailor.

I wonder how many people out there would want to create a 'Plimsoll Line' for stress related illness. Some way of helping people realise, 'early' warning system, that they are getting over-loaded. In addition we could collect strategies that people have used to help themselves or others at these times.
