Man dials 999 to report shop selling milk past its expiry date

A 999 call reporting milk being sold after its expiry date has been released by police as part of an appeal to ring operators only in an emergencies.

In the 48-second call a man complains that a shop is selling 'expired milk' which staff won't remove from the shelves.



The man says: "I'm in a store and the goods they've got here, they won't take them off the rack. There's expired milk and I've asked him [the shopkeeper] to take it off the shelf."

When the operator asks why he has called 999 the man replies: "He doesn't want to comply, that's why I want to involve the police."

Well, I guess he really should've called the health inspector instead, but most people don't know the number off the top of their heads...
