Unbelievable!
People in London England are dialing 999 (their 911) because a car drove by and splashed them? Gawd!
And how about this!...
"It doesn't sound like a case for Sherlock Holmes but one woman decided it was worth calling the 999 emergency number when her new bunny did not match its newspaper advert description..."
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080915/lf_nm_life/britain_bunny_dc_1One thing I'll say about the UK's 999 emergency system - it is FAST! One night while visiting a friend in Leeds, we heard some idiot beating up his wife/girlfriend right in the apartment above his and my friend dialed 999. The cops and aid came and were upstairs in LESS than 1 minute flat! Maybe someone else called before us, even though the fight had been going on less than a minute before we called, but I was certainly impressed.....
