Our wonderful emergency services (sorry Bob)

[craft1948]

I always have the kitchen door open and on Wednesday morning I heard someone knocking on the neighbour's door. Went out to see a paramedic banging on the door.
Him: Hello hello
Me: There's no-one in, she's at number 28
Him: An ambulance request was made from number 24
Me: Yes but the emergency is at number 28
He bangs on door again, calls in to radio operatot who confirms the address as number 24.
Me: The lady from number 24 made the call but you're needed at number 28
Him: No the call was definitely from number 24
Me: Please yourself but I think the lady at number 28 has just died

................Paramedic runs straight across my garden into number 28..........

and i dont blame them, bob!
our fire crew were out one day trying to get through a similar situation, the owner of one car stuck his head out of door of local takeaway and said he'd move his car in a few mins. The crew were furious, and even more so as they recognised him as an old firefighter!

Calm down butch, you'll end up making yourself ill mate.
I didn't grasp the wrong end of the stick at all, and my point was meant to reiterate what you were saying about the confusled (and slightly arsey) copper, not contradict it.



Plus every man secretly loves the idea of small vehicles being crunched by bigger ones, thats why banger racing, monster trucks and tanks are sooooo much fun :D, (especially when it's a really arogant 20 year old with a brand new Audi A3 who has no sense of road manners lol)

Craft was not being flippant on my first reply and am so sorry to hear of your neighbours death. The unit has to try to respond to the address given by control and of course the person calling should make it clear where they are needed, but easy to say in hindsight.

[bobjugs12]

Either that, or he'd worked with the Water Fairies before, and realised that they don't actually like working, and much prefer to mince around in red trucks and yellow wellies, showing off their perfectly styled hair, and freshly bronzed tans to all the ladies

[craft1948]

Mamya I never thought for a mo that you were being flippant :-)

[craft1948]

lol red I can laugh about it now, although it wasn't so funny at the time

vibes I have changed the addresses to ensure my teef's safety....

I had a funny experience with the police (well actually, I've had loads of funny experiences with the police, but I have only got a few mins). When I was living at home, there had been a spate of burglaries in the village. My next door neighbours were on holiday and their alarm went off so I called the police (who actually turned up). This (rather fit) young policeman got all heroic telling me to stand back and then made a right elbow of himself climbing over their 6 foot fence. I on the other hand just opened the gate and met him the other side. His face was a picture.

Ha ha barmaid thats funny.
I didn't realise fire fighters would actually 'drive through' cars that are badly parked, the bottom of my street is terrible but no one gives a sh*t. I wish they would do it to those selfish gits. Might call them to see (only joking)

[craft1948]

I used to live in a very long narrow street of terraced houses with cars parked at both sides and one day the fire engine was trying to get to a house fire at the far end of the street.........not one wing mirror was left intact............
