Did the mighty Brits not adopt the european number?
Here in Eire it's 112 or the old 999 still works.

UK mobile networks use 112 as the emergency number too...

I think 999 was used when we had the old use your finger and spin the dial phones. It was possible and quite easy to hit the black buttons on top and tap in a number so 999 was the furthest removed on the clicks scale.

I think they just used 999 because it was so long winded and by the time you were on your last number the urge for the cops had wained so no need for an emergency!!!!

Us oldtimers remember these wierd thinks called landlines

999 I think is to do w/ the automated switches and numbering systems from back in the day
at least, 911 is to do w/ that, not too sure about 999, it was around for longer, maybe another reason....to dwiki!

here in canada we had to make it simple for any traveling americans who talk the talk but dont walk the walk so to speak so we use 911 as well, well unless ur baggie then u use 912
