'Wrong saveloy' order among nuisance 999 calls bbc.com

The Met Police says time-wasting calls are a "huge waste" of resources and can put lives at risk.
A mistake with a chip shop order and an out-of-date packet of biscuits were among more than 22,000 time-wasting calls to the Met Police this year.

The force said its call handlers had identified 22,491 hoax 999 calls in the first 11 months of 2019.

These included a woman complaining that she had been sent three saveloy and chips from the chip shop instead of one.
