Damn! Beaten to the scoop once again.

Was helping out at a local OAP group last night and they were all convinced 
that BT have put cameras in their homes. This came about because one old lady 
phoned one of the others and said she could see who she is dialling. Turns 
out she has an Amstrad phone which brings up whatever name (that she had 
typed in) for quickdial numbers.
Other old dear thought it was a camera and told all the others. Suddenly they 
refuse to answer phonecalls without full makeup on. Came away unable to 
convince them that BT cannot put cameras in there houses without them 
knowing. At this point I gave up trying to fix their Windows PC.
