I wonder if this case will show up on Law and Order UK? Dum Dum (music) - Kidnapping - Location: Chatham, Kent 3 December, 2010. Better hurry before the victim changes form and all that is left is a carrot, some twigs, two £ coins and a pool of water. " I dun-know nuffing" one of the supects with frost bitten fingers told police. " I bin daawn te-pub with me mates all day."

Its amazing what people will want to complain about.

A few years ago I attended a report of a fight in a kebab shop during the early hours. It was a very busy friday night. Things going off everywhere! :rock:

The person that made the call claimed he had been seriously assaulted by another chap whilst stood in the queue for his food.

After an interesting blue light run thorough a packed city centre, avoiding drunks and idiots, I got there.

Upon arrival all was quiet.

No sign of a fight. No persons unconcious on the floor, no blood, no damage to anything etc..

I was then approached by a bloke that admitted making the 999 call to the cops.

He said that he was just watching the scrap when his burger was knocked out of his hand and fell onto the floor during the fracas. :dunno:

Have heard stories of fat people dialing 999 because they couldn't reach the remote control. Or silly old ladies calling for an ambulance and refusing to go to hospital because she had cakes in the oven...

Seriously, they should just divert all these calls to me where I will then proceed to verbally abuse them...

An expat, born in London. I realize I probably botched the accent but it is hard to spell accents. I also realize people in Chatham, Kent probably don't talk like a Cockney - dramatic license and all that. Some of the lads may have travelled a bit to the southeast in the quest to nick snowman.

Nice to talk to you Nigel,

Cheers,

Roger.
