Rang up Sky to cancel the sports package, since the cricket season is over. The voice asked me to enter my phone number "including STD code." I can't remember the last time I heard this phrase. Rather like Wireless was replaced by Radio over the years, STD has been replaced by Area Code or similar.
The nice chap from Sky also asked if it was ok to call me Ian, which seemed very polite and nice. I wish more people would do that kind of thing. It is fine, but it isn't for all people, and some people want to be called by other names like their second name or a nickname.
