    Interesting idea.

    I wonder who they'll have next. Patrick Stewart? Cilla Black, Terry Wogan, Joe Pasqualem Margaret Thatcher? Maybe they'll start taking votes.

    Perhaps they can employ Alistair McGowen and get several voices (including those of celebrities who are no longer with us, if they can get approval).

    Not exactly a very useful tweak to the service but nevertheless a good marketing gimmick.

    Oh dear. I'll never hear him 'cos I phoned 0800 587 5252 and turned reception off.

    I'm mortified.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    Doesn't she know, she's supposed to hide behind the sofa?
