 It's far, far worse if you buy something and don't have a mobile
telephone number for them. Their system just is not set up to allow
that field to be blank. 

 No, they wouldn't accept eleven zeros and I didn't want to make up
one in case it turned out to be valid. With my luck a made-up number
would be the official 'phone of the P.M. or a chief cop or someone
important. 

 More and more, not having a mobile number is constricting my access
to Life, the Universe and Everything and I fucking hate it.
