If he was truly "gobsmacked", then he probably needed a couple of extra appointments!

I think £127 is about $222. Was he calling long distance or something?

£2.59 per minute for his calls

Ummmmm, was he calling from a hotel room? Or using MCI?

The Daily Mail is great, but...still consider the source!

If you go to the article and click on the picture you get a blown up version of the two important lines.

Number              Duration     Cost (pounds)
0844 8220002     21:34:19     55.130
0844 8220002     28:17:02     72.270
0844 8220008     00:02:53      0.175

The phone system rang up the two calls as 21 and 28 hours. This is a British phone problem instead of a British socialized medicine problem.

A true example of how socialism dumbs people down...learned helplessness....he’s angry about the phone bill! Not the stupid government run health care.
