Anyway, the code didn't go directly from 01 to 0171/0181 - it went
to 071/081 and only gained the leading 1 at the time of PhONEday
when almost all other codes also gained a 1. There were exceptions
like Leeds, Nottingham, Bristol and Reading - living near Reading I
saw quite a few shopfronts and vans with "01734 xxxxxx" instead of
"0118 9xxxxxx" ;-)

Wasn't Reading the exception that did go to 01734 first and only later to
0118?
