Why is it that, after numerous years, people still can't quote a London telephone number correctly?

Even BT still refer to '0207' or '0208'.

The proper way to quote them is:
020 - code for London
nnnn - area code starting with 7 or 8
nnnn - Subscriber's number (Sod the new PC cr*p - they're not 'Customers', they're 'Subscribers')

So it should be 020 7123 1234 and NOT 0207 123 1234!
