  None of this kind of thing is new - I remember being a telephone operator in the mid 70's and receiving many a call on the emergency line with a gruff voice asking "what colour knickers you wearing lady?"
  The trouble is that political correctness requires that all such silly calls be given time; perhaps BT telephone operators on the emergency line should be given training and allowed to exercise some discretion as to what calls are actually put through to the emergency services. Once upon a time the local postmistress on her little switchboard would have pulled the plug on such calls without further ado!
