Quote - [In the city where I live, the police recently conducted a survey to see if people knew the emergency services number.  Most of the people surveyed said it was "911".  In Australia, the number is actually "000".  People have learned the wrong number from seeing so many US movies and TV shows.  Thanks to their devotion to Hollywood, in an emergency, they'll be dialling a number that won't do anything at all.

About 25 years ago I was living in a small city in the northern part of the Province. The place we were staying at was broken into.  The number to call for emergencies was "Zenith 1000" or something like that.  I never did figure out how to dial that!!!!  I ended up calling the Operator and she patched me through.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
