Although the
"If you live abroad ...."
part is obviously intended to discourage use by UK residents, I am sure a lot of people need to phone +44 1293 591959 whilst they are abroad on holiday.
They may even realise that they could dial that same geographical number upon their return to the UK by simply substituting a zero for the +44 part and dialling 01293 591959. Dialling
140
01293 591959 might be a good idea though!
