Childline is another example of a company with a short number - 0800 11 11 whereas you look at a company like QVC and it's 6 digits after the main code. And now NTL with 7 digits after the 0800 - although some people refer to it as 08000 then 6 digits.

Life was a whole lot simpler when you just had to pick up the receiver and ask the operator to connect you!

But anyway, that's slightly off topic!
