Good morning everyone I am also a part time taxi driver of Secure
Taxi Service, if you need a taxi from the airport or to it call
504-621-1408 Anderson Williams JR.

Can you do me a cab from Heathrow into central London on Monday
please. ;-)

That is an American phone number so I have first right.
Please pick me up at the airport on Sunday. I will have a suitcase
with me so will be easy to spot.

(If he didn't mention an airport, I don't have to either, but to be
fair I live in the 530 area code.)

You mean all phone numbers in the US don't start 555, like they do on
the telly? ;-)

Our phone numbers are in the form 539 555-4567
The area code come first so it is the 555 prefix that is always the same.

It's explained in "The Last Action Hero", one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's
better movies.
It must be true becasue Arnie is now the governer.
