A WOMAN who rang 999 to check if it was still Christmas Day has had her call broadcast to millions of YouTube listeners.
Hertfordshire police decided to upload the hoax as a warning to others not to waste the emergency services' time.
In the recording, the operator tells the caller it is actually Boxing Day.
The caller replies: "I just wanted to say, quickly, an important message to you if you could pass it on, OK, thank you.
"Merry Christmas. Today is Christmas Day."

Police expect more than double the usual number of 999 calls today.
Jason Baxter from Hertfordshire police said: "Making hoax calls is not funny or cool."
The maximum penalty is up to six months' imprisonment and a £5,000 fine.
