I hope that was a tongue-in-cheek question, LOL.

Well. . . 60 Great Ormond Street is the address of the Royal London
Homeopathic Hospital, not some courier company. Whoever wrote it is
half-literate in English, can't type well and has a penchant for
unnecessary initial caps. 0870 phone numbers are re-directors and 0704
numbers are personal or "follow-me" numbers. There is no such thing as
"Great Britain pounds". Microsoft UK is based in Reading, not North
London. We switched to British Summer Time last weekend and the UTC time
offset in emails from the UK should be +0100, not -0800. And so on and
so forth. . .
