Man calls 999 in fast food emergency 



A hungry man called the emergency services because staff at his local Chinese restaurant were not answering their phone, police have said.

The man, from County Down in Northern Ireland, dialled the 999 emergency number to complain that his calls were not being answered.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said he was reminded the 999 number was strictly for emergencies.

However, they said he replied it was an emergency as he wanted to order a meal.

A local police inspector said he had "arranged for the local neighbourhood officer to call with this man and give him some advice".

The PSNI in Newtownards revealed details of the unusual call on their local Facebook page.

Lads coming home from Clones, Ulster final day, half drunk, tired and hungry got as far as Monaghan town and got pissed off walking late at night, early in the morning and rang the Samaritans from a phone box and said they were all desperate.

The Samaritans local man got out of his bed and swiftly went and lifted them and brought them home.

The good Samaritan thought he had saved the day.

If you'd have rung looking to get some hoors removed who were blocking a road, you'd still be waiting especially in Ards.
