' Mike Modder-Fitch, who runs the force's control room, said time-wasting calls could stop people with a life-threatening emergency getting through.
"If we feel it's not a genuine emergency, but still a policing matter, we will put you through to a colleague who can still help so that it will not tie up the 999 lines," he said.
"When it's a hoax call or simply not a policing matter we have to terminate the call to free the lines.
"If you're on a night out and one of your d*unk mates thinks it's OK to call the 999 line, my ask is that you stop them from wasting our and their time.
"It could really make a difference to a genuine call. We can't help with food orders, taxis or the number for dentists." '

God this brings back memories of time wasting calls..
Though best 101 call I got was at 7am, women on phone in such a confused voice “do you have the number for the animal warden please? I woke up & there’s a chicken in my garden” 
As for not being kissed, think the bloke dodged a massive bullet there. |
