999 in New Zealand? Not unless you use pulse dialling! :-) (Hint: most
phones in New Zealand do tone dialling. And rotary phones in New Zealand
are labelled backwards to what I've seen in other places.)
A New Zealand station (channel 2, I think) used to screen ``Rescue 911''
(that American programme) on TV, and some kids actually dialled 911 in
an emergency. :-( So since then, channel 2 had another series, ``Rescue
111''.
