101 is total joke, wouldn't waste my time on that again.
When I caught COVID and was up all night coughing until I was about to pass out, I thought it would be prudent to use 101. Took about 10 hours and about 3 return calls as I got passed from pillar to post before some other GP booked a call with my GP, genius. Such a waste of time and resources that could be better spent. Being told if you get any worse and think you're having a heart attack to dial 999 is just great. Then waiting for an ambulance once you're actually having a heart attack seems like Russian roulette.
Prior to Covid I called 101 to alert police to the fact people were consistently driving dangerously and illegally on motocross style bikes in a park area outside of my home, often around kids and those walking their dogs. I actually had footage of an OAP dodging a bike and falling down, I was told they had a policy of not pursuing such people in case they fell off their bikes and hurt themselves. I actually made a thread about it a couple of years back, although I didn't update it with the rage inducing responses I received later on after following the advise of the gentleman that called me up.
This was after they had been given the okay in regard to chasing down miscreants on bikes in a court case a long time prior, which was not to my knowledge at the time. So I was essentially lied to by a representative of my local police.
101 has always been an utter waste of time.
