I called 999 last week whilst witnessing a robbery, I actually asked if that was the right number or I should call 101 hehe

Now I assume they get that question all the time. Oh and the guy on the other end of the line was useless, he was far more interested in making sure I told him the correct address I was calling from (which was a new build so wouldn't show on his system) than the description of the car that just took off whilst carrying the thieves and the stolen goods irked

Driving home tonight I came across a cow running in the middle of the road(30 limit but I know late at night you get car speeding down them and some not that greatly lite and mainly back routes) so I rang 999 and reported it and followed with hazard on to warn other for about 15mins around a few roads till the police turned up which I then left. I'm just wondering. If I was right to use 999 or if 101 would have been better?

Not the best picture but best one the missus could take was the breif bit with street lights and houses

Christ the amount of information you have to give on 101... You were better off ringing 999. I rang to report some really dangerous driving, and they asked my name, address, age, ethnicity, how long is my penis (maybe not the last one) but still what's wrong with reporting something and leaving it there?

OP is Nicola Sturgeon's chauffeur AICMFP:-

Nicola Sturgeon was touring Perthshire in the First Minister’s chauffeur driven car. Suddenly a cow jumped out into the road. They hit it full on and the car comes to a stop.

Nicola in her usual jaunty manner, says to the chauffeur, "You get out and check - you were driving." The chauffeur gets out, checks and reports that the animal is dead.

"You were driving, go and tell the farmer," says Nicola, ”I can’t afford to be blamed for anything.” The chauffeur walks up the drive to the farmhouse and returns five hours later totally plastered, his hair ruffled and with a big grin on his face.

"My goodness, what happened to you?" asks Nicola.
The chauffeur replies : "When I got there, the farmer opened his best bottle of single malt whisky, the wife gave me a slap-up meal and the daughter made love to me."
"What on earth did you say to them?" asks Nicola.
"I knocked on the door and when it was answered, I said, 'I'm Nicola Sturgeon’s chauffeur and I've just killed the cow.'”

Calling 999 could have been a misteak, although you did well not to mince your words, as that is quite a rare sight.

Glad to see you haven't had too much ribbing...

When you saw the cow, if it had turned and charged, would your life have pasteurised before your eyes, before you mooved over.

I had a similar dilemma 2 weeks ago when I spotted an old man walking along part of the Edinburgh City Bypass, at a section of road with only a small verge of grass maybe a metre wide to walk on beside the carriageway. To be fair I did try 101 first but was on hold for a few minutes, then dialled 999 to report it. At first I wondered if I'd wasted police time, though the people I've spoken to since all reckon it was the right thing to do.
What was the reason for reporting him? I ask because as far as I know the only roads that you cannot walk on are motorways.
The A720 Edinburgh City Bypass is classed as a Special Road in the same way as a motorway.
Thanks for that, it's new for me.
How are the 20mpg 8:20am weekday tractors allowed on it then ? Used to pi$$ me roit orf.
