BBC again - Comic Relief: The Big One
Mar 16th, 2007 at 8:30pm
 
As is to be expected, the Comic Relief - The Big One programme uses an 0845 number for donations.

The website's is fine (see here):
Quote:
- By phone: on 08457 910 910*

[…]

* Calls cost no more than 4p per minute from a BT landline. Calls from other networks and mobiles may vary.


No problem there.

On the screen, in small type, it says "Calls will cost no more than 4p per minute from BT landlines. Other operator and mobile rates may vary." This sentence is so small it fits on one line across the screen.

But some idiot has decided to that below the number they will put "it's only the price of a local call". This is larger than the other, correct text.

Factually you're correct and I'm a big supporter of the campaign.

But on this occasion, your remarks are inappropriate. The strap line 'it's only the price of a local call' should be seen in the context of the charitable purpose.

Give it a rest tonight....

Rumour has it that they need to make money from the calls to ensure Terry Wogan can be paid his fee - for the 25th year in a row!
