"THOUSANDS of unemployed, disabled and elderly people in South Yorkshire are being forced to use ‘rip-off’ 0845 phone numbers when enquiring about benefits, jobs and pensions.

Wentworth and Dearne Labour MP John Healey has highlighted how 148 of the Department for Work and Pensions’ phone lines - some 87 per cent - are 0845 numbers."

See story here:  http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/thousands-in-south-yorkshire-ripped-off-by-0845-nu...

It amused me  Grin to see the article/page was sponsored  by a solicitors using a 0845 number.
