Default '0207 008 0000'

In message , A H writes
All day long the lazy journalists of the UK media have been giving out
the emergency telephone number for the SE Asia earthquake and
subsequent tidal waves in the format:

'0207 008 0000'

BBC News 24, Sky News, Teletext have been displaying and saying it
wrongly all day ITN News 24 format it correctly on-screen but the
presenters have been saying "0207 008 000" all day long....

Is Oftel/Ofcom to blame for this mass stupidity/ignorance (because of
the way the renumbering was done a few years back) or are people in
this country in general just thick?

Do you not have a family and home to go to?
