on the 999ers

one of the most bizarre calls I ever took was from a lady who could hear burglars coming in fron the loft space net door..........................she lived in a detached house.

another woman spent some time explaining how her ex was breaking in but forgot until about 5 minutes in (as the cops were arriving) that he had been past a short while back waving a machete

another one, which I really liked, was a very very well spoken articulate old lady who tried to explain to me that the crime that had occurred was gods will. However she ended the call by saying
" god , like you young man, is full of bullshit"

a final one , an american student, rang up to tell me what a piece of shit i and my collegues were, unfortunately he forgot that whilst he was on line i could locate where he was calling from and a collegue, who didnt agree that we were pieces of shit could get himself there and have a word
