1. Some blokes grabbed me and my girlfriend then tried to get into my flat.

2. Saw a couple of lads trying to nick a car

3. Witnessed someone being nearly run over, then the car occupants bundled the person into the back of their vehicles.

3. Woke up to house being broken into and car being taken.

4. Got into an altercation with 3 blokes.

5. GP (on phone) told me to hang up and call an ambulance as she thought I'd had a stroke (she was right).

With the exception of (2) the response in each case was excellent.

Sorry but some of these made me no laugh out loud.

Particularly the driving past the smoking house and can you crawl into Lidl.

1-2 times most days at the moment, we’ve had our house tagged so they respond immediately without going through the chat for 10 minutes.
Yikes.

Once when my wife collapsed. Wasn't a nice feeling. Ever since when I see an ambulance I think how some families day has just been turned upside down.
I feel the same when I see an ambulance going quickly with sirens and blue lights. Someone fighting for their life. I used to feel the same when the air ambulance came into land at a London hospital I was working at, until someone told me they were probably just popping in for a Costa.
