What about all those toddlers who accidentally make calls to 999? Over the years? How many lines are engaged because of their wayward little fingers? I am guilty, my toddlers did it twice. I am thankful they called back to actually check that everything is Ok. <BR/><BR/>This is a perk of living in a civilised country. And I am happy to pay their salaries out of my hard earned cash, for them to be there in time of need or so-perceived need.<BR/><BR/>Have a nice day, <BR/><BR/>AntheaCulture Shockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07701686053294310213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-90204543055939757572008-12-13T20:09:00.000+00:002008-12-13T20:09:00.000+00:00If I'd found my home shaking thanks to the boiler ...If I'd found my home shaking thanks to the boiler I think I would have run and called 999 too. Looks like this is what the Fire Brigade said is the right thing to do: http://trannyfattyacid.blogspot.com/2008/12/tory-calls-for-end-to-emergency.html<BR/><BR/>I'm happy to trust their judgement. If they say it was right to call 999, then that's what I'll do in future if something similar happens to me.Mark Packhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596137350950820090noreply@blogger.com
