    Interesting address from Google:

    Radisson Edwardian Hampshire Hotel, 31 Leicester Square, Leicester Square, London, WC2

    0203 is a London code, although a very new one which does not come into play until Summer 2009!!

    From Today's This Is London:

    London is to get a third telephone code. From next summer the prefix 0203 will be brought in alongside 0207 and 0208.

    The new code is needed to fill increasing demand for phone lines from businesses and the growing number of single-occupancy flats.
    It will cover the whole of Greater London rather than either inner or outer London as the codes which were introduced in 2000 did.
    Communications watchdog Ofcom announced the new code today, saying it wanted to give plenty of notice and to avoid disruption which could be caused if other numbers were chosen.

    Not strictly true. 0203 codes are in use now, and have been for months. My sister in law works for a firm of surveyors near Great Portland Street tube. They have been using 0203 since the beginning of the year at least.

  • hi

    been searching the web for a wii fit and came across this site offering them for £49.99 with free p+p

    http://www.ishopuk.info/search.php?search_query=wii+fit

    does anyone know if its genuine, its just seems to good to be true

    the cheapest i have seen it £69.99, and they are going for £95 + on ebay

    Hi. I have no proof but after doing some research online this is a con. All of the items for sale are way too cheap, and also you can only pay by paying the money directly into this persons bank account, and people have been waiting up to 2 months for their items after paying. The other part is the terms and conditions, they are Hungarian and from a Hungarian template. All seems very suspect if u ask me

    Looks like a scam. Would report them.

    0203 numbers have been around for quite some time now .... I've had one for well over a year and a half now. It's a 2nd line, provided by Orange. HTH :)
    I can say whatever I like here ... 'cos no one can see me .. ner ner ner ner ner !!!....

    How do you know I ain't sitting here butt naked?!?!

    I thunk I've made you think for a minute!

  • DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM ISHOPUK - IT IS A CON

    I made the mistake of testing out this website by ordering an iphone - it is definitely a fraud and fake. It amazes me people are so brazen about conning people like this in broad daylight.
    After reading some others experience with ishopuk online, it has confirmed my suspicions.
    No one has received any goods
    I've had no response since I let them know I had transferred the funds
    Finally today the guy has taken down the front page of the website, which is now supposedly under maintenance. (HOW CON-VENIENT!!!!)
    If anyone is searching the net wondering to buy from this site - DO NOT

    After I did a website owner search it dawned on me it was a con - seeing how new the site was and learning the addresses were fake.

    Steer Clear

    Personally I think the Wii fit is the con, proof if needed that people will buy any old crap as long as its Nintendo branded.

    Everyone I know that has bought a Wii fit has just moaned about them, used them once or twice then not used them again or sold/traded them in.

    Biggest load of rubbish in gaming history if you ask me.

    And that website is a scam too!
    Missing Tesco R&R since Feb '07 :A & now a "Tesco veteran" apparently! ;)

    Me too, 43 days of daily exercise so far. Plus I'm now doing more exercise overall too. Different strokes for different folks
