well that description (emma) sounds quite intimidating so fair enough.
I used to install 999 call centres. I’d normally stay around for a week or two bottoming out the little problems with the system once it went live. The ridiculous things that people bother emergency services with is beyond belief. I gained a strong understanding from that work that what some people consider an emergency, is a day to day occurence for other people.
Some people have very, very uneventful/risk free lives.
People would phone up to say they’d lost their camera. Not stolen, but lost in the house. They would expect a policeman to turn up to help them look for it.
Not remembering where they parked their car was a good one too.
See also…. Dog has got out, a man looked at me funny, a black man has walked past my house, my son argued with me and then stormed out, I found a traffic cone on my car roof…. and other assorted silliness.
Anyway, to the OP. My son got beaten up in the local park. Not pushed around, but beaten up by a gang of around ten lads. They all took turns punching him. Police response….. We can come round tomorrow….
Yeah, thanks.
