@Fruitcake, the sign on the wall in that first picture shows PCM...

Isn't that what I said? 


"Edit, found one on this thread. PCM"

Yes it is. So sorry I didn't see that line earlier.

No worries. My work does need to be checked on a regular basis.

Yes it is the last day. Since it's not a normal working day I hope responses are accepted at lease up to midnight. During the recent webinar, the question was asked about what would happen if responses were received after the deadline, but nobody knew the answer.

No signs, numbers or letters. Assuming the visitors know where to park. And you will get fine if you parked in the wrong bay

Is there any email template or example to follow? Or shall I write about my experience in my own words?

...showing an 0845 number for the payment line. These premium rate numbers were banned in 2014, and I believe they are prohibited by both ATAs. 

I just wanted to point out that 0845 numbers are not actually premium rate numbers. They are business rate numbers that are no more than 7p/min (plus an additional access charge) which make them one of the lowest business rates, allowing consumers to assume they are a bit like local rate calls. https://www.gov.uk/call-charges

Edit: Please see @Jenni_D 's post below - they are still banned.

But they're still not allowed to be used for after-sales contact, which was the point being made.

The numbers that are no longer allowed include:

0843 numbers

0844 numbers

0845 numbers

0870 numbers

0871 numbers

0872 numbers

Note that although 0845 and 0870 numbers were commonly used for customer services in the past, they are specifically included in the list of numbers that are no longer acceptable. Only standard landline rate numbers (starting 01, 02 or 03) or freephone (0800 and 0808) numbers are now allowed for after-sales enquiries.

In addition, the access charge, which is set by the business, can be up to 67p/minute which is way above the maximum standard charge rate for geographic numbers, which is why they are classed as premium rate numbers, even though they could be as low as zero or a few pence. I wonder which level an unregulated PPC would choose.
