| « | 999, the number of the police |
» |
In the pub yesterday I mentioned that there had been mutterings about a national non-emergency number for the police instead of having per force numbers which no one can remember.
333 was the number being proposed.
This lead to suggestions as to other useful numbers and we ended out with:
999 - for police/fire/ambulance emergency
888 - for the near casino
777 - for the terrorist helpline
666 - for an emergency exorcist
555 - for your nearest tobacconist
333 - police non-emergency
At this point we went our separate ways so I'll leave 444, 222, 111, and 000 as an exercise for the reader (the last is perhaps the extraterrestrial dialing code prefix?).

We concluded while on our walk today that 222 is the number to call if you want a sound engineer and (although this is a bit of a stretch) 111 is the number to call if you want seven assembler programmers. So still looking for 444, and any more suggestions for the other ones. |

"Forfar 4" you mean? Oh lord, that's bad. But hey, it's the best we've got at the moment. |
