Perhaps Ofcom could do some advertising that actually works this time,
when London starts to get 3xxx xxxx numbers.
Why ? The area code will not have changed, all that will be happening is that a
new range of local numbers will come into existence. You already have to dial
the last eight digits anyway.
So that people get it right this time! IMO as soon as it was obvious
that enough people were confused about the change, the ads, website
and bill inserts should have been changed to explain why the format
that was becoming common was *wrong*. That so many people are still
confused shows that the original publicity could have been better,
doesn't it?
