The thread title indicates that it's the question of Nevill's alleged call to police. Do you think it was a 999 call, OR do you think he did what Jeremy did and took 20+ minutes to locate the relevant number, after all, if you say poor ickle Jeremy didn't know what to do because he'd just woken up, it can't be expected -if he was scared enough to call police- that Nevill would have remembered local opening hours/numbers off the top of his head, can it?
When Nevill rang the police,it would have been a 999 call and he also would have had to have waited until the coast was clear in which to do so,i.e. Sheila being out of earshot from whichever area in the farmhouse he'd used the phone.
In JB's case when he rang his father,he'd have been disorientated waking from sleeping,so by the time you've gathered yourself together to answer the phone,downstairs,you have to then get your head around the type of call it was given the time of the morning when sleep is at its deepest.
Allowances and thought have to be put into place under such circumstances.
Nobody that I know leaps out of bed at 3am fresh as a daisy.
