Heathermills210258 Professional irritant Heather Mills (she doesn't deserve the -McCartney) is in touble with the police. Slapped wrist trouble, though, not cells and gruel trouble. The poor dear is apparently having such a hard time of life as a single mother, trying to make ends meet in a hostile world Dancing With The Stars and whatnot, that she finds herself on the phone to the police at all hours of the day and night.

Having picked up the 999 phone to find Ms Mills on the end one time too many, Police Chief Superintendent Kevin Moore said: "We are duty-bound to respond, but clearly people who make lots of calls to the police run the risk of being treated as the little boy who cried wolf. Officers who have attended previously to find there have been no grounds might not take any claims seriously, and that's the danger we face. We are having to spend a disproportionate amount of time on one particular person."
