I feel really sorry for the emergency services people, they are just trying to help people and do there job. sometimes it could be a laugh though. The guy is a right idiot.

' Between June 2007 to July 2008 Police received more than 400 hoax calls a month '. That's shocking! that's more than 100 calls a week, what if there was an emergency call to the police and these thoughtless inconsiderate people blocked the the landline access for a genuine report & call for help? This neither helps the public or the police, what an irresponsible little twerp that hoax caller is!

3:13 it all went wrong. These types of people really annoy me!

If he was genuinly robbed, then it doesnt matter weather they stole 20p or £100. Its a scary experience and baddies need to be caught. But this is just silly. I hope one day he does need the feds and there the other side of bristol responding to a hoax and then he gets robbed or raped. Peace.

I think she should have just hung up on him after he told her it was 50p. There's no point wasting time on people who are clearly too stupid to know better.

[bceharviesr]

These people really need to think about their actions. The emergency services are not for stolen 50p!
