# The American emergency number works in the UK
Dial 911 and you get put through to 999

# Yep
999 works here
911 works in the US
112 works across all of Europe

But as an extra 'gesture' they also divert the American emergency number too, so in the UK all three work

# I didn't know that.
But I'm not going to try it to find out if you're right.

Knowing the people on this message board, if I dial 911 because you've told us this 'fact' I'll only get I Love Horses or the sound effects for meatspin.

# 112 is the international emergency number. You can dial it from a locked mobile, or one without a sim card.
Try it if I'm not too many hours late for someone to read this.

# You're thinking of 112,
which as any American would point out, is the week before.

Just had a thought. 6/6/06, when the forces of good (us) and evil (US) come into alignment and agree that it's the sixth of June. Hmmm...
