D'oh! Guilty (and ignorant) as charged. Thank you Mike (and others) for 
enlightening me :)

Bloody classic really - I've always know it worked that way because I used to 
"tap out" free calls home to Mum to pick me up when I was a lad and needed a 
ride home. This was before the times of cellphones of course - but there were 
these little red telephone boxes all over the place and if you 'reverse tapped' 
your phone number you could call Mum without needing 20c!

Now I gotta get on and drive this mob of sheep down to the market then get some 
fush & chips...

Happy NY all

Pete
