curry stained pilchard 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 020 is London, so 0207 is central London (what used to be 0171). 0208 is central London, 0207 is greater London, innit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 13991 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Though apparently, although existing 0171 numbers became 0207 and existing 0181 numbers became 0208, they now use either code more or less indiscriminately for new numbers, regardless of location. I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I am also doing the same, I suggest an investigation into this intriguing mystery. I suspect all we will find is rude people, tramps and expensive pints, though but.

Greg 6 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 They are running out of 0207 and 0208 numbers and so they are now giving out 0203 numbers for London as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg, when I saw you'd replied, I thought the only reason you'd posted in this thread was because your wankered keyboard only allowed you to post 0's 1's etc instead of letters.

Hahaha well my laptop is still not fixed but I have a normal desktop keyboard that I have plugged in via USB. Someone on another forum I post on was so pissed off with all the 1's and 0s that he sent me one from the stock room of his work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
