999 callers ask to order steak & report hot weather in Essex
The Force's control centre are asking us to be sensible with calling the emergency line
Police have had calls about how hot it is and wanting a steak ordered in Essex over the weekend.
The Force's control centre say they've had a lot of hoax 999 calls recently.
They're also asking us to think wisely before calling that number - saying a traffic jam is not an emergency.
They posted on Twitter saying:
"Calling 999 to let us know you are stuck in traffic stops genuine emergency calls coming through.
"Sadly if you are stuck you have to wait for the road to clear before you start moving. #EmergenciesOnly"
