It has been pointed out to me that  explaination of British telephone numbers is
now somewhat dated.  British phone numbers now have a four-digit area or city
code, followed by the telephone number.  After the "44" country code, therefore,
if an old four digit number begins with a "0", you exchange it for a "1".  A 
three
digit number would have a "1" placed at the beginning.  For example:

                    123-xxxxxx would be dialed 1123
                    0123-xxxxxx would be dialed 1123

And remember that the U.K. is on Greenwich mean time or British Daylight Time 
and
five hours ahead of the East Coast, and eight hours ahead of the West Coast.
