Dunno but if they are supposed to be codes I am FURIOUS!

London is +4420 (The 7 & 8 ARE PART OF THE NUMBER!)

It *REALLY* annoys me when ppl quote London numbers in the form 0207 xxx
xxxx, or 0208 xxx xxxx.

Belfast is *NOT* 1323, That *IS* Eastbourne and Suburbs! (SP?)3

I think NI has its own 02 code now, 029?

Glasgow is, yes, +44141.

I wonder what the French reaction would be if we listed Pariss codes
as 13, 14, 15 and 16 after country code 33? Merde, les rosbifs sont
imbeciles

When stuck for the night in a foreign hotel room, Ive been known to
have a glance through the yellow/white pages left there (usually more
entertaining than the local TV service). Almost without exception the
dialling codes for a substantial fraction of UK places are wrong. Youd
think that replacing 0171 for inner London and 0181 for outer London
with just one 020 code would be a simplification that (a) they would
welcome (one fewer line of type to set) and (b) find extremely easy to
understand as practically no other major city still has such a split.
But no, they almost always get it wrong. Could it be that Oftel or BT
persist in sending out duff information to foreign telephone companies?

Also the sample of places listed is always curious and illogical.
Sometimes theres a tiny bit of logic, with maritime nations tending to
list ports like Felixstowe, but usually one simply cannot imagine why
some big cities are omitted while tiny towns are present. Perhaps they
do a tiny traffic sample, and just list the 20 area codes last called
from that country?
