Thanks. Back to normal hopefully:

Starting with the A1, there are 772 consecutive A-road numbers that have at some time been allocated in Great Britain. [Incidentally, I think I've walked most of the A772 as well - it's about three miles long and passes the Edinburgh Butterfly and Insect World at Lasswade, south of Edinburgh.]

0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 29, 56, 108, 208, 401, 773 ...

In the film Bruce Almighty, God contacts Bruce, via pager, using an actual phone number rather than a number in the standard US fictional 555 telephone exchange: 776-2323. The number was later changed to 555-0123 for TV and DVD release.
