Will they (BBC) never learn!

NoNeedToKnow

London Marathon on BBC TV... across the screen they gave info
for those interested in running, so show the number 0207 xxx xxxx
and the website

Aaargh! Who in the BBC is still unable to understand 020 is the code?
Seems like no-one there is aware. Seems they take the number (as
020 7902 0200 on the London Marathon site) and reformat it!

Sounds like you get irritated by the BBC's misuse of the numbering
system while I am constantly irritated by News 24's presenters who
replace the letter 't' with 'd' (e.g. god, ged, gedding,
Briddish,Scoddish, secredary, pudding, conservadive, + !n others).
Remove 'no_spam_' from email address.
