Why stop at Police Officers? let's try... GPs! A lad fell asleep on the chairs at the surgery. The Doc went in. He did not respond to his whisper. He had reception call 999. We turned up. We woke him. He was bleary-eyed for a mo. He gathered his things together and headed for the library. He didn't even want to see a doc but the GP didn't wanna see him either. Not knowing the GP had seen him i spoke with the doc via the internal surgery phone and we both agreed that calling us was a waste of ambulance resources. It was a few minutes later that i discovered that reception had made the call on HIS instructions. Ye Gods! Give me strength. As you say, Tom, easy job. Kills a few minutes in the day
