Bloody Hell!!!

The 20 year old references to Buzby were bad enough but the GPO ceased to
be
in 1968 when it became Post Office Telephones and Royal Mail.
Post Office Telecommunications was 1976-1981.
British Telecom 1981-1984
British Telecommunications plc 1984 - ????

It was (may still be) an offence to use foul language on the phone back in
the dim and distant past and you are almost right about the offence.

"Misuse of the Queen's Electricity" was the official wording ;-)

Offence in what way?

It is against BTs Contract Terms yes but I wouldnt call it an offence.

Btw I do NOT do this or condone it I have the full ethernet ADSL to allow
multiple PC access.

I am not sure that they are still in place but I do know that there were
some weird laws on the books at one time...such as stealing the GPOs
electricity if you used a service and then refused to pay for it ;)
