I always have the kitchen door open and on Wednesday morning I heard someone knocking on the neighbour's door. Went out to see a paramedic banging on the door.
Him: Hello hello
Me: There's no-one in, she's at number 28
Him: An ambulance request was made from number 24
Me: Yes but the emergency is at number 28
He bangs on door again, calls in to radio operatot who confirms the address as number 24.
Me: The lady from number 24 made the call but you're needed at number 28
Him: No the call was definitely from number 24
Me: Please yourself but I think the lady at number 28 has just died
................Paramedic runs straight across my garden into number 28..........

We had a mix up last week with a job in St Andrews Lane (road names are false btw). We were told to look for the paramedic response car on scene as the house was hard to find. Drove up and down St Andrews lane looking for the car with no joy, until we realised that we were on St Andrews Road, and St Andrews lane was a tiny offshoot that in the darkness actually looks like a private driveway. Luckily it wasn't a serious job and we were only there as back up so no harm done, but the problem we face now is micro-management and constant working out of our own areas.
from his perspective craft (and no disrespect meant to you), the call he would have recieved from control would have said the address was 24. For all he knew you may have been confusing his job with another shout, mental, or just a good old fashioned pain in the elbow. He had to exhaust the possibility that 24 wasn't the correct address
