Reports that a mum from Colchester, which was once the Capital of Roman Britain, called the police because her son would not tidy his room. What silly reasons do you know of for calling the Chief of Police's men?

What's going on here guys. It's all over the news

I watched the news today and this was not mentioned even once. I’m beginning to think your reports are not very accurate Mr Pipersson. It was NOT all over the news.

If you are trying to hoodwink us about that, what else are you bring nefarious about?

What’s going on here Tom?

Are they 101 calls or 999 ones? In Wales 101 are just trained workers, not actually Police, and you can wait for ages and even get flagged as a nuisance caller.

Some are daft for sure, but the Police have rightly been in trouble in the past for making fun of people with clear mental health problems, instead of just accounting for them in how they staff the lines.

For a period they did a clear national 'PR job' on reporting silly phone calls every year (always around September it seemed to me.... wow look what month it is!!!!!). I hope they are not bringing that back, or if they do they keep it to the most obviously inconsiderate calls.

Also (as the criticism went) they sometimes created an atmosphere where it seemed like they were rather discouraging people from ringing them. They need to avoid that too obviously - especially as so many people simply chose not to contact them these days on the whole. Unreported crime is a real issue these days.

I know of someone who called an ambulance after he lost his toothbrush.

He said he was having a heart attack at the stress of it.

Turns out he wasn't and just wanted them to find it for him!

My neighbour called the police one night because her son thought he heard someone kick the fence and then walking on their gravel.

But it was my cat I let out my bedroom window, jumped off the extension roof onto a little wood shed making a third Then scratching about in the gravel. The police came with a tracker dog too.

Is the son a four year old or a rebellious teen or worse an abusive young male...... ?

Was the call for not cleaning the bedroom or for threatening his mother or for showing intention to self harm ?

Was the mother or the son suffering from mental health issues, dependent on substances or have very limited experience and knowledge of what help is available for parents/families ?

Who did go in the end to help ?

It's also the oldest recorded town in the country.

A woman once called the police to report that her snowman had been nicked, having not realised that it had, in fact, melted

I used to work for the Police and will always remember one call I got, 20 past 6 in the morning, nothing malicious but;

“Have you got the number for the local animal shelter”

Me: “I have, can I ask why?”

“I just woke up, and there’s a chicken roaming in my garden, I don’t know who it belongs to”

Merseyside Police are looking for a barefooted conspiracy theorist named Tom who was on his yearly jaunt to his favourite city and holds with the ancient philosophy of 'finders keepers'.

Difference between the two 101 is none emergency whereas 999 is an emergency both controlled by police staff as trained call handlers

Reminds me of the time a work mate rang 999 about renewing his shotgun licence the stupid sod spent quite a while arguing with the call handler that everyone knows that 999 is the number for the police don't think he could ever see the error of his ways.
