    They also use non existent numbers such as 0000547xxxxx - I had one of that format on Friday. We don't answer those, "International", or unrecognised UK numbers as we have an answerphone. Have had to answer a few "withheld" numbers lately because the surgery and hospitals tend to appear as such.
