999... What is your location?
About 6 months ago there was a slight to do at the rear of my property. Nothing major in Manchester, knives flashing and young guy stabbed. Thankfully not fatal.
As a dutiful citizen I called 999 on my mobile. Was put in a queue by GM Police (as is their shitty service levels), 2 minutes later I explained we needed Police and Ambulance.
Control lady asked for postcode (I know the postcode) - she couldn't find it.
I went on to give the road and number of the house of the incident.... nope still no luck. Eventually said to Police one sec, "What 3 Words location is" and told her. "Fuck Andy Burnham" - or a similar phrase.
Her reply was "What is What 3 Words?" - I gave in and rang the non-emergency number, more efficient, better location tracing and music on hold.
Police, fire ambulance quickly despatched and young guy looked after.
No wonder GMP are under "Special Measures" AKA Naughty Corner.
Andy Burnham fuck off back down to London.
Rant over....
Biting the hand that feeds IT
