    rolleyes Dial 111 If You Are Not Quite Ill Enough To Dial 999.

    Tinkering with the NHS again.
    If they wanna free up the the ambulance service and A&E then spend the same amount of money there instead of new schemes which will confuse some people, a lot I would imagine.

    If you are ill please plan it, make sure your mobile has plenty of time left on it, you will need it.

    The introduction of a ' semi-emergency' number could confuse patients and delay the treatment of life-threatening injuries, it was claimed yesterday.

    The new code, 111, is designed for those who need urgent attention - but whose condition is not serious enough to warrant a 999 call.

    Details of the plan were unveiled by the Department of Health and telecoms regulator Ofcom yesterday.

    So, if you've just got the trots is that 222?

    All the number two's
    Just had a water fight over the park with a bunch of local kids.
    I won!
    No one's a match for me and my kettle.

    I bet you were a bleedin riot in your chippy, CC.

    Years ago in Coventry we had a chippy owned by the brother or brother in law of Reg Dixon who was also a riot and used to show us tricks, but never how he did them.

    Years ago my mate bought a caravan from Reg Dixon.
