In living memory, the GPO (General Post Office) turned into the PO then Royal
Mail and BT (British Telecom) which split off its mobile (cell) arm to O2 all
changes needed rebranding. The telephone system changed its numbering so all
companies had to reprint their headed papers and adverts. (London went from 01
to 071 for inner London and 081 for outer London then to 0171 and 0181 now it is
0207 and 0208)
