01273 123456 is a perfectly valid Brighton number.

Ever heard of “National Dialling Only” numbers?

Those always need the code included.

The whole point is, they can’t be locally dialled because the local number part starts with a 0 or a 1.

I also wonder why you would want to dial 123456 to call someone on 123546. I thought you had to dial the numbers in the right order, “five then four” isn’t “four then five”.

All this other shit detracts from the main point of the post, but it is shit that is easily fixed if you can be arsed, or sometime next year when you’re sober.

I don’t give a shit about the number itself, my point was about dialling codes, and referred to “the fictional number 01273 123546″.

Fuckbundle.

…and you would get the SPEAKING CLOCK after dialling 123.

Example number would be better off as 234567 or 567890.
