There is no 'may' about the following quote. And you can't dial 999 without speaking because the operator woud have asked which service you require.

You're right, Caroline. It was made as a statement of fact. Lookout appears to think that if she believes something to be true, it automatically makes it a fact and goes through convoluted hoops trying to make it so rather than back down and accept being wrong.

An address has to be picked up somehow for those who,for whatever reason find that they can't speak .
Police will listen in to a silent call for suspicious noises then act accordingly. You CAN dial 999 without speaking !!

Ask John on red-----he SHOULD know.

In which case, the central call centre which handled the alleged call would have had no reason for concealing it, unless of course, you're wanting to accuse yet ANOTHER public service body of lying?

Yes you can, but NOT without involving BT in finding the caller! You said "that call would have appeared on a digitalised screen showing the area/address rather than having the loud distracting buzzer. The address of the caller would have been recorded and filtered to the police". The only way to have found out who a caller was back then, would have been to contact BT and have the number traced. Which mean BT would have been involved in the case - they weren't other than to listen into the off the hook line.

Why? You take any notice of what he says either!

[Caroline]

I have asked him.

[lookout]

I have asked him.

And ?

[Caroline]

And ?

I have to wait for him to reply.

[lookout]

I have to wait for him to reply.

Okay.

[Roch]

I have to wait for him to reply.

Okay.

The suspense is killing me

You mean you don't already know?

Before the advancement of technology ALL emergency calls were recorded/taped and logged in the 1980's. The machine was a tape to tape recorder complete with screen.

You're clearly sticking to your guns that Nevill made a 999 call, so it must follow that, because this alleged call was never revealed, you're accusing yet another public service body of duplicity and lies to assist in, what you believe to be, the deliberate framing of an innocent man.

Why should my opinions bother you so much ? I don't argue against yours !!
