Have you ever phoned 999
Have you ever phoned 999 and if you have, why did you?
|
Yes
There was a fire |
Yes, for my neighbour a few months back her husband fell on the stairs and she was in a panic.
|
..yeah, many years ago..it was the fire service, also my son when he was very small accidently pressed 9999999999999..etc..on the phone and a police officer turned up at my door....
|
I rang it once years ago when I lived with my mum and dad and I came home early to find the house being burgled. The burglar was still upstairs but heard me come in and legged it. I rang and it took the police 3 hours to come.
|
Yes.
|
Yup. Once when my grandmas house was on fire
Once when my mothers partner was trying to kill her. Took the police about half an hour to get there..luckily I had a knife to HIS throat by that point. Unusually, they never questioned me officially on that, but that may have been because they could clearly see that my mother had been badly beaten. |

Yep, a few times. I've rung them a couple of times for fires breaking out in houses/building near me. I've rung them once when sheep had escaped a field and where all on the railway track and I've one dialled 999 by accident on my phone when it was on my pocket. The only reason I noticed is because they rung me back to ask if everything was okay.

Twice.
Once when me and my mates were kids, and there was a drunk guy collapsed on the pavement. And the 2nd time when my brother broke my leg. |

Because that would have worked brilliantly eh? Why didnt I think of that :rolleyes: |
Many times, In the main for an ambulance.
I did for my Grandmother when she collapsed while I was out with her. Also for ambulances for a good friend who was severely brain damaged in a car accident years ago, he often had seizures that required urgent hospital attention so 999 was the way to get him there as near immediately as possible. We lost him though a couple of months back. Have also called 999 for the Police and fire service too for others. |

..that's a 'perfect theory' though and what you did was just as effective and yeah, maybe the police aren't allowed to praise you for it because there are lots of potential dangers with it but none of them happened and you effectively did get your mum, siblings out of danger, so for you and them, it was perfect....your mum and all of your family must be really proud of you... |

I learned a great deal from him though as to realising the little problems that turn up in my life were nothing compared to all he went through and still he tried his best to carry on and give a smile too. |
