dear jonathan
the area code (0721) does ring true (ha ha) for British phone numbers. it
is even feasible for the region of England they are in, ie south, not too
far from London (judging from the accents). I used to live there, also
close to London, and the area code for my town was (0727). But you need 6
digits for a proper phone number after that, so the 6931 must be missing
something. As for the second phone number...i'm not sure what 0815 is,
except that i think the area code for greater London is 081 (maybe some pg
fans who actually still live in England can help out- i've been in
australia 9 years now!)
I love the page one and Tiddler thing, that's really cool. i am humbled
that i am not so observant myself!
zoe
