I'm still here
When you look at the activity on some blogs, I am surprised this one has not been deleted for lack of activity. Anyway I am still around and intend to add to the website when I get the famous round tuit.

Nice site Roger.
Looking at the letter codes reminded me of ringing BARnet 8273 long ago and asking "did you know your number was bastard?". Regrettably, 382 5033 wasn't a valid number in any of the director areas.
In GPO days the Engineer-in-Chiefs office had its own London director code: "HEAdquarters".
What a fantastic site! Thank you so much for this. As a kid growing up in Harrow Weald, Harrow Middlesex (well all right, geographically NW London - but the postal address still says Middx even though the county went west in 1965) I loved the fact that our exchange was GRIMSDYKE - it had a suitably bleak otherworldly flavour to it. And as I grew up - realising that our phone exchange - now merely 954 - HAD beend even distantly related to the norse/anglo-saxon god Woden/Odin (and associated dark age earthwork just a mile or so north of our house) made me feel good. Now I am in Wood Green - which is Mulberry? - I'd love to know how that name came about!
