Mine is of the format 111222 and the OH's 111333.

I also appropriated one for the boss (he's emigrated to Oz so I can actually quote it) which was 0410 000001 - that's actually harder to dial than you think because of all the zeros.
Numbers with a lot of 000's in them are a pita to dial.

Both my brother and my Dad have useful mobile numbers as they were in on it in the first few years.

I didn't get a mobile until I was forced to by the realities of modern life in about 2001. I was expecting a pants number but when i was given a choice it was very clear which one i was choosing. Even the guy in the store could not believe that i had lucked into it. Okay so it isn't THAT special, but it is a very 'catchy' number that rolls off the tongue and is easy to remember.

Sure i once met someone with a number that had the final six digits 956 962 - only remember, well for obvious PH reasons...

I suppose with telephone numbers being mentioned I can say my account number for my card.

Basically 22200007 (not exact numbers except for 0000s) but you get the gist.

Staff number and with it permanent privileges that I have never lost, like certain banking stuff for free and preferential call centres (before getting advanced/premier car) due to it being recognised as staff and going through to the normal people.

Not worked for the bank in 6 years, but still enjoy the usage of it.

So they basically admit that the normal call centre people are muppets then?

The ones called peter that read off a crib sheet in Mumbai?

Nope they are good enough for lower people... but us staff deserve better and get it. Do remember sometimes we get a scouser and then have a whole world or problems understanding them, so we to have to put up with a weird accent.
