I contacted ASA lat week about the call charges in the Sun re 0845,bottom left of the picture, for the benefit of anyone who cannot make out the offending text,( my computer blurs it), this is what it says;-
"Calls from landlines charged at local rate, mobiles charged at normal rates"
This is the ASAs response;-
YOUR COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SUN
Thank you for your recent complaint about the TV magazine with the above newspaper.
Unfortunately we are unable to investigate your complaint about the cost of 0845 numbers further, as the item concerned is not classed as advertising for the purposes of our Code. It forms part of the editorial content of the magazine and as such does not fall with our remit.
You may wish to contact your local Trading Standards department to see if they can offer you further advice. You could also contact The Sun directly to raise your concerns.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your views and I am sorry we cannot help you further. Our website
www.asa.orq.uk contains information about the work we do, including the results of our recent investigations into other complaints.
Yours sincerely
