3,000 switched calls per day is not very impressive even for 40 years ago and I have to agree that it does seem that there is more live football broadcast than there is ordinary telly - "99 per cent of all live football and terrestrial television passes through"!
No one mentioned the rotating resturant at the top which is still there as far as I am aware. I have been in it 3 times and at night it is superb. It was originally open to the public.

I'm with Tony Benn on this, it really is a disgrace that a national landmark, built with public money, is closed to public access.

To Simon in Cumbria,
Yes it was built with private money, but now it is private, owned by a publically floated company.
The restaurant as far as I am aware is now an inadaquate conferencing faclility, closed due to the terrorist threat.
