I follow the 'contact us' link to report a web problem, and ended up 
with a reply from a lady in BCS customer services  who says I have to 
give them my phone number so they can ring me before I can be registered 
for  the meeting.  I have the impression they must be very concerned 
with physical security, and want anyone in their building to be 
traceable. Why, I have no idea. Are they a likely target for aggrieved 
clients of software companies?
