Irrational HatredPeople who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

Isn't this just a hangover?From the days when 0171 was for Inner London and 0181 for Outer? When BT orginally introduced the 020 codes, 0207 directly replaced 0171, and 0208 replaced 0181. They've blurred a lot since then, but that's where the confusion arises I reckon.
It's the new provincial habit of breaking up provincial dialling codes like they were in London that annoys me.
So you get people saying their mobile number is "079 9876 5431"
NO!!! It's 07998 765431 you tossbag!!
