Dickie Normuss Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Man dials 999 as wife won't cook dinner LONDON (Reuters) - An angry husband made an emergency call to police -- because his wife refused to cook him his dinner. The man dialled 999 in a fury, demanding help from officers because his wife was busy decorating, Avon and Somerset police in western England said on Thursday. The plea was one of a number of genuine calls made by the public to police which the force published on its website to highlight abuse of the emergency number. "My wife's left me with two salmon sandwiches which was left over from last night, and I'm sat in the chair here and she's out there decorating," the man told the police operator. "She won't put any food on or anything for anybody." The operator is then heard interrupting him saying: "I'm sorry but I really can't take this. It's not an emergency because your wife won't give you anything to eat." In another call, a woman phoned police to say she couldn't find her glasses and needed them to slice her cucumbers. 😬 Seek forgiveness, not permission.

Laurence Wilson Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Hmm. With the proliferation of speed cameras, you'd think they'd have the time for this sort of call now . Peardrop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not a Postman Pat Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 also, I'm not sure that glasses are the best thing to use for slicing cucumbers. Pat and his not quite black and white cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachael Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Now come on, be fair....what have the cucumbers ever done to you. OK so you don't like them very much but that isn't a reason to start torturing them. The GOGs don't like us very much, imagine if they set upon us with blunt instruments 😬 Rach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Cucumbers have assaulted my taste buds, murdered my nice glass of pimms, ruined many a fine tuna sandwich.

Rachael Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Oh what a good idea, I know what I will be having for lunch today - tuna and cucumber sandwich - lovely. Actually on the subject of Pimms, I remember being at our company Summer party last year and Alex was happily drinking a glass of the freebie booze when he suddenly realised that there was cucumber in it - I have never seen anyone's face drain of colour quite so quickly 😬 It worked out OK though, meant I got to finish his drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
