Default Re: 999 is for EMERGENCIES ONLY!!!

Mr LPH injured himself the other night when he got out of bed to get some water and the cat had decided to open up the drawer under the bed, so Mr KPH got his foot caught in it, fell over and crashed into the wall head first and twisted his ankle. I would not have been able to call 999 for this emergency as I was laughing too much.

After breaking my leg in 2000, I worked in the call taking centre for GMP for three months. These two calls are not unusual, in fact, they are common.

I remember a bloke calling 999 'cos the pub landlord would not put the football on the telly! My favourite though was a 999 call I answered to hear a very plummy, posh voice;

Me; "Police emergency line"

"Hello, Dr. Smith (I can't remember his real name!) here, I'm on the M6, trying to get to an address in Manchester. Can one of your chaps meet me and guide me in?"

Me; "Is it a medical emergency?"

Dr; "No, I'm visiting an old friend for a dinner party and I don't know how to get there. So, are you sending someone?"

Me; "Goodbye"


I really, really hated working there.

Pete

My mum has been a emergency operator for years and some of the call she gets begger belief!!

One was a elderly lady:

Her: Grant and Phil Mitchell are in my house

My mum: Oh really? What time is it?

Her: 7.45pm

My mum: Ok, its alright they will be gone in 15 mins.

Her: Ok thank you.

She gets countless calls asking for lifts from town to the peoples houses.

She had a call from someone saying their ex had stolen their leg...turns out she was an amputee.
