999 Police Calls – Don’t Try These From Home!

Before Christmas, Cambridgeshire Police released an article on their website by way of a seasonal appeal.

999 emergency call centres (911 for those of you in the US) have always been abused by the ignorant & the stupid, but Chief Inspector Mike Winters decided to publish some of the more idiotic nuisance calls on the internet in the hope it will help get across that abuse of the service can cost lives:

“The message is; don’t put lives at risk by calling 999 when you do not need an emergency police response.”

Although the below are hilarious – just what were they thinking!!??

    Since we are discussing the 999 police calls | Mel Carson – UK Internet Marketing Blog – Microsoft – Memoirs topic, First, remember that you always need to inspect the land first. There are a lot of reasons why it might be a great idea to invite an inspector with you. They will be able to ask all of the right questions and inspect the property thoroughly to give you an accurate assessment of how much it is really worth. You will find that most public auctions will have time set aside for anyone to come inspect the land or property before an auction begins.
