Letter: Tale of two times

Published 27 June 1998

From Michael O'Connor, The Millennium Commission

Kenneth Hooton asks why the telephone number of Britain’s Millennium
Commission is 0171 880 2001
(Letters, 6 June, p 66). The Millennium Commission
is aware that the millennium actually begins on 1 January 2001. However, all our
enquiries indicate that the public wish to mark the year 2000. The commission’s
fax number is 0171 880 2000, which means that we cover both schools of thought
as to when the new millennium actually begins.
