Mount Snowdon, elevation 3560 feet, highest mountain in Wales - a hostel environment to be sure! Absolutely grisly!
Two hours from Manchester; an extraordinary rendition: what he could have been on about there? A copper's copper exposed, reeking of gin, covered in snow, gale force winds of 80mph, paradoxial undressing! One must really read about it here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/03/12/ntodd512.xml
Condole our sympathies to Scotland Yard.

112 system was first proposed in 1988 & hoped for implementation by 1992, which many major cities did. It was another decade before all must fall in fear of quick to dial: 112.There are still some holdouts.

Unlike long rot ary 9 as first number, Europeans E911 is actually several seconds faster with 11 being operator code & 2 is first number with actual letters on it. So much for anominality.It works same, you complain about someone nearby & small car with several henchmen show up, grab 'suspect" & disappear, just like Yanks do.

It is rumoured that USA wanted 9999999999999999 for universal number of distress, finding out it was more nines than telcoms keep track of, busted that. Last suspect on 112 system was captured just as began to think criminal thoughts.

Now EU has national Day, 11th of February or 11/2 day, Eventually Whole of Germany is expected to collaspe into flaming airfoils that day, yet so far, No Luck. It is cosponsored by MICROSOFT as well as many wireless carriers.

112 is a valid emergency number in the UK and has been for some years in addition to 999.

"A city police chief who led an investigation into charges that Britain cooperated with secret CIA flights to transport terrorism suspects without formal proceedings has been found dead, his deputy said Tuesday."

It's not surprising he could send texts from near the TOP of a mountain - funnily enough, the Line Of Sight is brilliant. It's the valleys that cause problems.

AT adds: ISTR there's a cell at the top of Snowdon.

I wonder if the text messages mentioned the black helicopters following him during his walk...

@ Bas

The UK uses 112 and 999 as emergency numbers, so if anyone from europe needs it, it still works.


Bas Heijermans,

112 is an emergency number in the UK as well as our traditional 999.

Quiet why you are commenting on this in relation to the article I guess I'll never know.

I'm thinking you miss read it.

Dude, Europe dictated 112 in all states as being the emergency number.
Would be strange that only the UK doesn't have it.
Or, you are simply unaware it's 112 all over Europe.
