Dekers Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Picked up a new bit of land this weekend and the farmer specifically asked us to call it in to the police as there's an anti woman who adjoins the property who always calls the police when she hears people shooting. On signing in, i now hear there's a new number for the whole country - just dial 101 and it connects to your local constab non emergency number. I'd not come across that before. Interesting, I thought that was just London! Thames Valley was a local rate 0845 before but Surrey was a normal code! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were told 101 is a national number Alan Edited March 26, 2012 by Alanl50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Logic Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Iirc it's a new number. Does make me laugh, the rot these police come out with sometimes - don't even have to have your ticket with you, so a copy is helping them out!!

Kes Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Its putting a lot of power in the hands of anti's if all it takes is 'a well meaning phone call' to ruin an evenings shooting and cost us all a fortune. The police need a better way of responding to these things, surely the number they have attended which are legal would have caused them to think. Also one presumes they take the numbers of the callers? One hopes they check occasionally who has called them and from which areas - wasting police time comes to mind. Talk about sledgehammers and nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
