If you were calling that number in the early 1980s, you were calling a London (01) number - 223 4411. You would have been in London and could have called just the last seven digits?

As Chris still (in part) has Cambridge listed in his profile I assumed he had forgotten just when PhONEday was, and when 0223 became 01223
