    Jan I saw that years ago I'm surprised it's still doing the rounds after all this time. That phone number was shut down in 2005. See the link.

    Thanks Becky - first time I've ever seen this. Can't remember who posted it on my FB wall, but thought it might be useful for all my UK friends (just in case) - will now pass that on.
