Or 911, for you Americans.
Have you ever had to call the emergency services?
I hadn't, until today. Loz and I were driving to my house to pick up some clothes and money and we were driving down a country lane. It was about 9pm. All of a sudden there was a car on fire infront of us, exploding. I called 999 and they told us to stay away incase it exploded infront of us and that they'd send the firefighters. I hope it was just joyriders torching a car they'd stolen, rather than a crash! I hope nobody was hurt. We were told to leave because there was nothing we could do because we were advised to stay well away.
Nothing to do with the story, another car pulled up behind us whilst I was on the phone to the police. Loz got out to tell them to go another way. They asked him for directions to Tiptree so he gave them. We followed them in the opposite direction and then Loz told me the bloke he talked to was a Geordie. We followed them all the way to my house, and then they pulled onto my drive! It turned out to be my Auntie and Uncle driving to my house from Newcastle (about 6 hours away, I rarely see them!), but none of them recognised eachother. It was weird.
