Okay guys, I decided that all this debate was just going to go on and on for days so I thought I would do something about it and contacted BT directly to ask them if itemised billing would have been available in 1985 for bussiness and homes.

A member of their team is looking into it and will call me tommorow (or at least siad that he would but you know how bad BT can be) so I will posts whatever I'm told.

Do you think Mike is getting confused between Billing and Itemized? There are both different!

Well done Mat for getting in touch with BT I was going to suggest it, then it can be put to rest.....

Did you ask if this was done with a business line and residential? :)

Hey, Patti.
Yes, I asked about business and residential. I spoke with someone who seemd very knowledgeable so I am hopeful.
I also made it clear that I'm asking for a certian area and not just all of the U.K as I'm aware that different areas of the U.K recieved the serive at different points.

BT have a reference library in London that is open to the public. You only need the date the local exchange was upgraded to digital to prove the debate,one way or another. Mike was in London a short while ago,( pictures in underground system following god knows who) I'd of thought it would of been worth a visit....

I believe it was. I just dragged thru a few sites and found the info. It's in black and white. Itemised billing wouldn't of been available. What makes me so positive is mike has claimed on many occasions to have itemised bills prior to the murders but has failed,despite promises, to revel them. You must not get itemised bills confused with bills that itemise international calls. This is the type of bill that mike uses as " evidence " of itemised billing. Trust me,if I thought there was any chance of itemised billing I'd be in london searching archives.when I found proof of itemised billing for the period I'd of cracked the case and claim my million,if it's still available?
That's the problem,the itemised bill proves innocence and guilt surely?

Given the nature of the calls was it not possible to find the person at the other end  to confirm two voices were different.

They can't agree the calls exist so I doubt they will recall the voices

In all fairness in 1985/86 you would think that would be the first thing your defence would do....to check if a call had been made to a said number.  It obviously wasn't available at the time.....:)
