LONDON -- Being the person on homo eroticism in only angels have wingsthe other end of the phone when someone dials 999 must be one of the hardest jobs in the world.
Not only do you have to remain calm in the face of extremely stressful situations, but you also have to deal with people who haven't quite grasped the definition of "emergency".

1.“Can you give me the number for the non-emergency police?”.
2.“I am [at] Heathrow and I have left one of my bags in a taxi?"

5.“My mum put a deposit down on a fridge freezer and they haven’t delivered it -- they keep changing the delivery date…”
6.“I’m lost and I’m looking for a building that I can’t find, can you tell me where it is?”

12.“What time do the betting shops close in N18?”
“Although the majority of people who require police assistance use the numbers correctly, there are still too many calls to emergency lines where the 999 number is being used as an information service," said Chief Superintendent Pippa Mills.
"In many cases a simple internet search would provide the answer to the question posed by the caller."
