I got woken many times with the police ringing me up to reset an alarm or something or other. One night I told the police lady who had rung three times in 5 minutes to clear off as I was trying to break into a safe and she was holding me up. On the fourth attempt I explained her mistake and she realized she had dialled 0254. I think in those days the codes didn't have the 1 after the 0.
It doesn't happen now, either crime has stopped in Morecambe or the alarm company has gone bust because everybody rang me instead of them.

That happened to me as well Gremlin, Acc is 01254, whilst Blackpool and district is 01253. I think its Blackpool Honda Motor Bikes have the same fax number as my phone number apart from the code. Some bird brain had sent a directive to all their customers giving them their new fax number but the wrong code, consequently I was inundated by people wanting to send me a fax, I contacted BT and they did ease of somewhat but even today I still get the occasional call, the only trouble is they're usually on auto redial and my phone rings for around six time before it gives up
