Yes! These are all bloody annoying.
The one that really bothers me though is badly written London numbers.

The correct area code for London is 020, therefore 020 7703 4461 is corect but 0207 703 4461 is fucking wrong!
While it is true that at one point inner and outer London were seperate areas number wise they were recombined in the last big number change.

You are so dead wrong man
When the numbers were 01 xxx xxxx that was fine. It then became 081 xxx xxxx, then I moved and... Oh fuck it, the last groups never changed, so it is natural to keep these the same and add 0208 to the beginning

No I'm not!
When it was 01 703 4461 if you were in London you could just dial the last 7 digits.
When it became 071 703 4461 if you were in the 071 area you could dial the last 7 if you were in 081 you had to dial everything.
0171 was exactly the same but with the extra 1.
Now that it is 020 7703 4461 regardless of where in London you are you have to dial the initial 7 (or 8 or 3), were you correct about it being 0207 I should be able to dial 703 4461 and get through however I can't, ergo the initial 7,8 or 3 is part of the subscriber number and not the area code.
