Ah that works out. I do remember the change from 010 to 00 for international as I was doing overseas exchange at the time.
It does lead me to wonder about the allocation of country codes. As above to call my friend in France I dialled 01033.. To call home when there, 1944....
Germany code 49, Poland 48, UK 44. Can't see it being an alphabetic thing, or even any kind of geographic logic so next discussion?
