"Now another question - why have British companies never followed the Americans and used handy mnemonics for their telephone numbers?"

They have tried with "0800-REVERSE" but even if you look on their homepage then you will find that they have to translate it into numbers again so that people can understand it. so it now just becomes "0800-7383773"
