See, even on GN that number of digits is 'recognised' as a "phone number". It has gone blue! Hahaha!

I am too then. On the advice of DD2, if a website insists on having a phone number when I don't think they need one, I enter 01001001001. Their computer sytem is happy because it has the required number of digits. I'm happy because I've foiled the nosiness.

I have just been buying something online for my mother. It had an essential to fill in box requiring her phone number. Her number has 10 digits. The website insisted that I must fill in an 11 digit number and refused to move on until I did. So I added an extra 0 - result! Their website is now happy, but they have a completely useless telephone number.

OH says I am an anarchist!
