To think the London phone code should go immediately back to being a straightforward ‘01’?

This basically.

None of the other nonsense

if the phone code would go back to 01 we could all make like we were about to phone into Swap Shop/Saturday Superstore - in other words we could all kick back and make like it’s 1982/83.

This is not a TAAT but yes it WAS inspired by another thread

I don’t suppose you realise the reason the numbers changed in the first place?
same as why 3 digit phone numbers became 4 then 6 digit.

The numbers were changed to expand capacity. Not for a laugh. 🙄

I know. I’m just being ridiculously sentimental for my childhood Saturday morning TV programmes and the excellent ‘Crimewatch’ which was wrongly I think taken off air - so phrase indulge meGrin
