A new twist on an old story.

A friend in France has just had their phone number changed so when I call the new number using the normal French 0033 prefix I get a recorded message that the number is not in use - in GERMAN!.

Apparently this happens only with (all) English callers - not other Europeans. I can only imagine the problems of people who don't understand German!

Is this racist or merely Brusselsist?

Have you had the debate yet?

If so how did you get on?
