STUNNED police officers have branded a woman "completely irresponsible" — after she phoned 999 to report a stolen SNOWMAN.

Cops said she thought it needed their involvement because she had used pound coins for the eyes and teaspoons for the arms.

Now the caller, from Chatham, Kent, has been "spoken to" by officers to advise her about what counts as a real emergency.

Kent Police issued a transcript of the call which they received overnight as they fielded thousands more from people due to the sub-zero conditions.

In it the woman tells the operator: "There's been a theft from outside my house.

"I haven't been out to check on him for five hours but I went outside for a fag and he's gone."

The operator asks "Who's gone?" and the woman replies: "My snowman.

"I thought that with it being icy and there not being anybody about, he'd be safe."

We always used lumps of coal for the snowman's eyes. I guess it's cheaper to use pound coins now.

Only if you are using Polish coal, the British stuff has been taken into the treasury to replace all the gold Flash Gormless Brown gave away at the last car boot sale.

Thought Maggie T stopped bringing the stuff up from the nether depths.

Can Britain sue Flash for the difference between his giveaway price and the current value?

Om second thoughts the dollar conversion to sterling would probably show a loss.

On third thoughts - my thinking was arse backards. We'd get oodles more now - double the dollar price and a bit more for the crappy pound.

Great line. Thanks for my morning laugh.

I feel this woman's pain. I lost a snowman once............... Unless you've been there, you'll never know or understand the sense of loss.

Well actually, some would argue that my previous career which spanned a couple of decades had something to do with social work & my old boss use to tell me often I had a way with words

Here she is.

She sounds well classy, innit!

Hey, Boater - complete change of topic, but have you read in the Daily Mail that a French company (Oberthur) are bidding to buy De La Rue, who print all the British banknotes?

I would expect it to be right up their alley.

Wonder if the Aussie firm who print Vietnam's plastic money will put in a rival bid? They were being hauled over the coals a few months back for bribing the VN Treasury to get the contract. (Should have used their expertise in getting the FIFA WC 2022 bid )
