About 15 years ago we came a across a cow in distress in the canal near Trent Lock. The best idea I had was the fire brigade so I called 999. I had the grid ref and lat / long from a GPS but they said they couldn't handle that and wanted the address and postcode. The only building on the relevant bank (it's very wide there) was a scout hut. On the other side I could see a pub so I gave them the postcode of that but I told them it was the wrong side so they should look on a map.
Needless to say they turned up on the wrong side. Long story short I ferried a fire crew across, then a second crew from the water rescue unit after the first had failed to rescue the cow by putting a rope round its neck and half strangling it. I eventually took them all back and waited for the RSPCA to turn up after they had got it back on land, not looking very well.
We had a team photo with all the fire fighters.
I was very surprised they couldn't cope with the map coordinates.
