What is wrong with you people?

Seriously. Ringing up the Emergency Services and tying up phone lines for needless crap, potentially endangering lives. These people are second only to prank callers...

Some excuses for calling them:

"My son won't get out of bed"

"Can you take me home as i have no money"

"What time is the Romford fire display?"

And, my personal favourite:

"Can you come round and remove a spider?"

"My son won't get out of bed"

Do you know, though, where this caller was from?


A certain place in North Essex called.......Colchester.

Makes sense now

The whole conversation went something like this

Operator "Which service please ?"

Farm Wench "Police"

Operator "What appears to be the problem sir, er sorry... i mean madam"

Farm Wench "My son won't get out of bed with his sister and father"

Operator "You're from Colchester arn't you" :D :D :D

Good Point, but I'm more having a dig at Prank Callers to the emergency services, not Prank Callers as a whole ;)

Seriously. Ringing up the Emergency Services and tying up phone lines for needless crap, potentially endangering lives. These people are second only to prank callers...

Some excuses for calling them:

Caller: "My son won't get out of bed"
Operator: "Why not just get him out?"
Caller: "He's surrounded by fire"

Caller: "Can you take me home as i have no money"
Operator: "Why did you go out with no money?"
Caller: "I didn't but I was mugged. I was just getting to that"

Caller: "What time is the Romford fire display?"
Operator: "About 7pm I think"
Caller: "That's interesting because the fireworks factory seems to be on fire"
Operator: "I love it when people build the suspense"

And, my personal favourite:

Caller: "Can you come round and remove a spider?"
Operator: "Where's it parked?"

I managed to get the full transcript. I think you're being harsh on these people as they have genuine emergencies.
