The Guardian has posted an article with links to genuine 999 calls by idiot members of the public wanting to know the date, wanting to speak to the Prime Minister, wanting to know where Homebase is... but this is the best:
A man has dialled 999 to say that his wife has gone out without leaving him any food to eat
Communications operator: "Hello police"
Caller: "My wife's left me two salmon sandwiches which was left over from last night... and I'm a sat in the chair here and she's out there decorating. She won't put any food on or anything for anybody, I don't know what...."
Communications operator: "I'm sorry but I really can't take this. It's not an emergency because your wife won't give you anything to eat."
There's lots more here:
