  About time too. They had the technology for this years ago but chose not to use it.

  It's a free way to get through to 01622 690690 if you have no credit on your mobile.

  Common sense at last, how many times do we really need to use 999 which is the only number most people know. I used to know Dover's number but would have to look in my book now.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
