Try dialling 222 1234 locally and see what happens. Well you've got that very wrong, I live in Lambeth and MY number is 0207. Go to here, and search for 0207: http://tinyurl.com/354p6p "Sorry, there was no match for 0207. Please try again." How come? http://tinyurl.com/2q87fa Type: 020 London has two codes 0207 and 0208 NO! From the OFCOM site's FAQ: "Q: Since when has the London Code been 020? Aren’t there two London codes – 0207 and 0208? A: There has only been one area code for London (020) since April 2000. In 1997, following public consultation, Oftel announced that 020 would become the code for Greater London with effect from April 2000, following 2 years of parallel running with 0171 and 0181 (ie, between 1998 and 2000). With the adoption of 020, Greater London moved from having 7-digit local numbers to having 8-digit local numbers. ‘8’ or ‘7’ became the first digit of the local number, depending on whether the number had previously been Inner (0171) or Outer (0181) London." Just one example of a London 0207 number being St Thomas's hospital on South side of Westminster bridge opposite House of Parliament: http://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk/vi...lstthomas.aspx "Tel: 020 7188 7188" And this is one example of a London 0208 number scroll down to Tottenham http://www.powerleague.co.uk/location.asp Yes, they're ignorant too. -- Richard J.
