With the UK and Ireland amongst a group of countries long using 999 other numbers around the world range from 911 to 000 or even 112 Paddy Power are speculating who might be next to make the number the default quick dial emergency number in their country. After Australia, New Zealand are 5/1 second favourites followed by Germany at 6/1 with America 8/1 to swap 911 for 999.
France, always determined to do things their way, are the 25/1 outsiders to convert.
