Found this on MSN News:

A woman called 999 to complain she was unable to get through to Strictly Come Dancing to vote for Tom Chambers in the final, police have said.

It was just one of the frustrating calls made to police, who released the details to ask the public not to call emergency numbers for frivolous - or ridiculous - reasons.

Other 999 calls made to Greater Manchester Police (GMP) recently included one from a priest because he was in WH Smiths at Manchester Airport and the staff wouldn't let him use their toilet, a man who complained staff at a pizza shop had put mushrooms on his pizza and he had not wanted mushrooms and a caller who dialled 999 to ask what his mobile number was.

It's these type of people who prevent the emergency services from saving people in genuine trouble
