Ginger Daddy Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I love this quote: "The whole thing is a mess, why hasn't this been publicised? The last time there was a number change it was drummed into us for a year. "And why has anyone allowed numbers to be issued that are so similar to the old ones?" You just want to do this, don't you: http://corporatespeak.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/businessman-banging-his-head-against-the-wall-ispc026073.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) interesting article here http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/Calling-Sheffield-0114-3-.5389052.jp At first I thought Ginger was whipping up a storm in a teacup, but that article and the responses just beggar belief with their monumental stupidity. I mean I can understand how a few (not very bright) people might have followed this line of thought: 0742 xxx xxx 01742 xxx xxx 01142 xxx xxx But for the city's newspaper to compound their ignorance by presenting the natural growth to seven figure numbers starting with three as a "number change" is beyond fathom really. :/ Edited September 16, 2009 by Max Power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyrad29 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I mentioned these earlier in the thread!

satman2222 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 It did change for a time to 01742, where I worked at the time had to up-date their letter heads then it went to 0114. No it didn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
