Re: Mini Petrol Powered Corvette 'Go-Kart' For Sale (7ft Long) On UK Ebay

A little off topic here, for all you British guys.

Did British Telecom ever figure out how to itemize telephone bills so you 
knew where you were calling and when, rather than simply getting a bill
that 
said you owe us £46? (sorry if this doesn't work, no pound symbol here)

20 years ago, that was all I'd get from them. Not a clue as to where the 
phone calls went, which meant my roommate was able to con me on bills for
a 
short time when I could him calling the States at 3 am several times a
week.
