Royal Geog Society - 16 GNs & Not One 084/7
Mar 1^st, 2007 at 6:49pm

Just a brief message to say hats off (or RESPECT as certain members of UK society now have it) to the Royal Geographical Society that a relative of mine recently bought me a membership of as a Christmas present.

A look at www.rgs.org/RGS-IBG/Contact+us.htm shows no less than 16 Geographic Numbers for 15 different departments plus their main unadulterated switchboard number on 020 7591 3000 Smiley

Only doing what they should be doing of course but there are hardly any other outfits left in the UK now where all the individual sections of the organisation can be reached on their own direct GN phone lines.

A pedant writes (3 years work for a telecomms supplier): the correct formats are
(020) 7591 3000
+44 20 7591 3000
though spacing in the subscriber number is optional (75913000 and 75 91 30 00 would be ok).

The (0) malarky is verboten under the appropraite ITU-T E.123 format (it's burned into my cells) due to confusion with area codes as written in North America. I give though that this is very popular in Europe but strictly it's a no-no. There are more important battles such as with call costs so I return you to the regularly-scheduled war...
