So I finally did it. Changed my cell phone to a London area cell phone. And what an ordeal that is.
I moved to London just about 3 months ago and had put off changing my cell number out of pure laziness. But last week I went into the store and asked to change my number to a London area. The guy behind the desk asks if I have any numbers in mind...what are you supposed to say? Who walks around all day hoping that their combination of numbers is available?? So I said yes, I want 111-1111...damn, not available. Then he starts spitting out numbers...just give me a frickin phone number dude. I got one, but don't ask me what it is, I can't remember it. Should have really thought it over.
The problem with my new number, is that it's a 226! Nope, couldn't be like everyone else and get a 519 area code, nope...I'm a 226. When I tell anyone that I've got a new number they all reply with, "Oh, you're one of those guys..." I'm an outcast in the 226!
