Thanks for the 0625 correction, that was a typo on my part. I was told a long time back that the spaces, although not used by the exchanges etc, were there to make it easier for customers to remember numbers and to easily see which area where they were dialling. Indeed even now with mobile phone numbers, when printed, there is often a space inserted after the first 5 digiits.
