Man calls Solihull police to complain about prostitute's looks

A man has been warned after he dialled 999 to complain about a prostitute's looks after meeting her.

West Midlands Police said they were contacted by the caller who said he "wished to report her for breaching the Sale of Goods Act".
The force said the call was received at about 19:30 BST on Tuesday complaining that the woman was not as attractive as she had claimed.
Officers have now sent the man a letter warning him about wasting police time.

I think he got away lightly

Had a recruitment consultant call me the other day to discuss some vacancies I've been helping hire for. She suggested meeting for a spot of lunch on her and said that I'd recognise her as she'd be the most beautiful woman in the place.

Linked In said otherwise. Didnt think to ring the police though

I don't condone wasting time phoning 999 but you've got to admit that's pretty funny.

My friend is a graphic designer and a few years ago spent a year during a lean period airbrushing escorts pictures for their cards / adverts.

He showed me the before and after pictures, they went from 7 pinters (On the Stella scale) to stunners

I can't believe the idiot phoned the police.



It should have been trading standards, really...

Who looks at the mantlepiece while stoking the fire?

Presumably it was arranged at distance then. Reject her within seven working days and insist on a full refund.

Can you do that once the service has started?

In fact, when does provision of the service start?
