Oh, Ye Gods….

Exactly! Heaven forbid that there is any degree of sexism on this forum…;):diablo::diablo:

I hope Mrs. Lincoln 7 doesn’t see that :diablo:

After reading all thats been stated regarding this issue, I must state that ALL OF YOU are guilty of forgetting one thing……….IT WAS AFTER ALL A WOMAN!!!

111 has always been NZ’s emergency number, because out rotary phone dials were always the opposite of what Britain had, with numbers and direction the other way. Not sure why that happened. So here, 1 was the furthest number to travel around the circumference of the dial.

What was it in the pre-digital days?

hasn’t something like 911 or 111 been trialled in a few regions but scrapped due to again a lack of funding by the government.

111 is the NZ emergency number.

I blame it on too much in breeding. 😮

Snowman

The lady reporting this heinous crime and the snowman do have something in common. Both her IQ and the snowman’s temperature will not rise above zero.

Muppet is not exactly the word I would have chosen for this moronic excuse for a human being.

It was the mildest and most forum-friendly word I could think of at the time.

Our local police station is only open 3 days a week – in the morning!:eek::(

*******ing incredible!! 😡

Now your talking.
Whitehall 1212!!!

Scotland Yard Casebook, starring Edgar Lustgarten and a host of excellent aeroplanes like Viscounts, Clippers, Connies and Pistons all over the place. Flown from early LHR or maybe even Croydon??? They reversed the film to indicate flying back home! Even Viscounts were used for transatlantics!
They crammed a 3 hour film into 25 mins. I distinctly remember one episode where he flew to Jamaica on a Connie, checked in the hotel, came immediately downstairs (Still in Inspector black mac garb), goes to the bar and approaches the only man in the room. (Takes picture from pocket) “Have you seen this man?”…..”Yes”. Classic.

However, discuss this: –
I doubt if 2% of the readers on here know the phone number of their local Police station. Not without finding the yellow pages etc.

I’ve always thought (perhaps wrongly) that all police stations follow New Scotland Yard. That no. is 7230-1212. So your local police station would be (STD code)-1212.

I rang directory enquiries to check this and some are 1212 but others are not.

Tony.

Aren’t they pretty much exactly the same thing anyway? :confused:

Either way, she’s a muppet!

The Stolen Snowman

I expect she wanted the police to send a tracker dog, and to take plaster casts of the footprints, and take finger prints in the snow.

Surely this woman’s 15 minutes of fame will be fulfilled when she ends up in the Darwin Awards.

If there was a snowman with teaspoons sticking out and £1 coins for eyes, the spoons and coins would have been taken, and the snowman crushed.

Maybe she should check e-bay daily to see if a snowman is listed for sale in the Kent area.

Maybe she has contacted The Samaritans and asked them to list “Frosty” as a missing person.

Stupidity has no bounds.

Perhaps the sun came out and it melted. She’ll probably find her coins and spoons on the front lawn when the thaw comes. I mean, how the hell could you steal a snowman anyway, surely it’s not possible? And for that matter, why would you?

Anyone want to buy a second hand snowman? It’s unsual as it has teaspoons as arms. Any offers? You’ll have to be quick though. It’s shrinking!

totally unaware of the real world and real people around them Or is it simply pig-ignorance?

I believe 911 works on UK mobiles, and has done for some time.
111 was trialed in my area, but for anti social behavior issues in the town centres. Don’t know if it’s still going on.
