smithyandco Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Was anyone else following this? http://twitter.com/gmp24_1http://twitter.com/gmp24_2http://twitter.com/gmp24_3 3 Twitter accounts they needed to use for the sheer volume of calls... It was a point proving stunt by Greater Manchester Police to show the public the sheer volume of calls they receive in 24 hours and the amount of pointless calls they receive Like: Call 3045 Concern for the welfare of a relative living in Tunisia Call 3026 Suspicious man wearing cape in Bolton - police attended and no sign of man Really interesting to read.
