Theme and variation
Finally found a composition tutor.

She uses an 070 number, which after a quick Scroogle to reveal if that was a typo or not, makes a heck of a lot of sense for someone in her line of work. Still, by next year they should be moved to the vacant 06, and that can't come soon enough.

Phone up, and get an announcement that the call is charged at £1.50 a minute. That sounds utterly wrong, so I hang up, and then find this through a quick Scroogle. The calls should, in fact, be costing 20p per minute.

At this point I restart my search from scratch...

...but then realise my only two phones are one mobile and one NTL halls line. This may be it...

Cor, do people still use those? They came out in the mid-90s, and were touted as the Next Big Thing in telecoms. About two minutes later, email and the mobile phone arrived, and the whole concept died something of a death.

Not entirely convinced that we can call it an 070-gate scandal. Yet...
