Anyway, my point being: the current numbers have been drilled into our subconscious very effectively. Throwing that away woulde be an amazing waste of time and money.
Would it? Are humans that difficult to teach? Is all advertising a waste of time?
This whole "single number" hype should end anyway.
In Russia it is simple, there are three numbers: 01 - Fire Service 02 - Police 03 - Ambulance/Medical response Easy to remember especially because the number is written in large figures on the side of every emergency response vehicle. You could even retrofit these numbers into other countries because they are two digit numbers. Although Russia has agreed to implement 112 emergency dialling, the old numbers are still active nationwide. --Michael Dillon
