If you have your way won't Glasgow be an international call?

And camera alert devices are illegal in the land of the frogs. So, cameras ain't to slow people down but to empty their wallets.

And on the M1

Who mentioned per hour?

Hopefully, just a parking ticket.But glamorous it ain't.

Just been there myself today.

Might best to avoid Scotland then. Unless of course £7.50 covers you. Mind you, a bunch of flowers might sweeten the deal.

£7.50 all in?

You reckon?

Why would that matter? but, for the record, Glasgow, Edinburgh and surrounding areas.

As i said, it was an observation based on my three weeks up there, and yes, within busy environments. Even the presence of an Englishman didn't provoke comment on it.

Wasn't criticising your approach, merely commenting on it. And being specific, the 08** and any implications the new roolz may have. As an aside, and this was a general, open question. My asking "do companies know what using 08** numbers may cost them?". I strongly suspect many dont. They may indeed see a potential revenue stream from them, but do they ever consider what they may lose by using them?

You've to sit in the sun, drinking cold beers and take it like a man. Hell, they'll be mistaking you for a soft southerner if you're not careful.

hoy. no whinging!

I was referring to the ordinary folk/man in the street. Not the 10-30 political punditry show both channels push but no one seems to watch.

Its OK. I'm only jealous.

Sure you're not on the balcony

Exactly!And people hate 08 numbers has they invariably incur charges. Like I said. How much does using these numbers cost a company?

Problem is Jeff, and its certainly the impression you give, is that people (aka customers) don't sign up for the facility for you to have incoming calls as a hidden profit stream.Its alright you taking the high ground and saying (potentially) sod'em, that's the way it is, if they don't like it.... Remember, you've implemented systems to give you most income at least cost. Customers don't have that option and hence are held hostage to these schemes. If your are like many others, you nigh on refuse to ring one of these types of numbers, or worse, refuse to use companies that leave the customer no choice, why should people use your company? In effect, what is it costing you?

perhaps if you too charged more than £7.50...

Just spent 3 weeks up there. Never heard a single comment or conversation about the issue of independence. It's like it doesn't exist....except on the agenda of certain politicians.

I did, on a council website. More specifically, and you ain't gonna like this, support can't be on a premium number.

Trading standards? About as much use as a chocolate pleaser.

I fit them by the shitload. And yes, for CCTV.Not had a problem with them for CCTV or other functions we use them for. The firewalls on them can be a pain though. I'll pm you a script in the morning you might want to try. You'll need telnet though.

Out of interest, what model is it?
