And Olive didn't even drive a bus! Arthur did. Olive just ate a lot of pickled onions.
Let's turn this thread into a generic On The Buses one, just for fun

This makes the THIRD set of O2 advertising to contain glaring cock-ups...
1) The one advertising a phone with a "13 centimetre squared" screen
(Only the v/o is correct which says "13 square centimetres")
2) The one illustrating "0207" and "0208" as two separate codes
(London, of course, only has ONE area code - "020"
unless of course Manchester numbers beginning with 5
are in a new area code of "01615" etc.)
3) The one mentioned above
That is why I would never get a phone, contract or otherwise from O2.

I imagine their advertising agency is probably more to blame than O2.
Having said that I switched to them earlier in the year and they're a bit pants. I can't believe you can't get delivery reports on texts!

Your error, not O2's (not that you're ever going to believe anyone else.)

Hence why you do what I do and have your mobile phone on Orange. I phoned up the customer services for my sister a few weeks ago as we couldn't find some stupid PIN code to change her contract and phone, so I spent ages looking through loads of O2 crap, find a premium rate number, I ring it, and I get told to ring another number that reopens tomorrow morning, brilliant eh?
If any of you are on contract on O2 and you ring up the Customer Services you get through to the Preston Brook Centre which is very close to Runcorn and Warrington.

13 cm^2 is how it is written and spoken, however it is acceptable to *say* it as square centimetres.
