your scarily likely "dit" reminds me of an occasion a few years back, when there was a fire late one night in the Officers' Mess at a secret Shropshire helicopter base.

A bright and alert baby pilot(ess) discovered it, and dialled 2222 or whatever it was, hoping to get the Fire Section, or the Plods or something useful.

Got "Dumfries Doris" the "MoD Operator" - somewhere in Scotland anyway....

....."Hello, help - there's a fire in the top floor of the OM, RAF S.S.H.B."

"Can you tell me the building number please"

"It's the s0ddin' Officers' Mess!!"

"Do you have the building number please ......"

Puts 'phone down and runs to guardroom...........

.... all ends happily (except for some tropical fish, who got smoke bubbled through their water )
