| Description |
UK phone number formats with optional international prefix, optional spaces, dashes and brackets. Brackets mandatory for regional/capital leading zero if included in international form. Based on "Mh" UK London & Regional. (Thanks Mh for the groundwork). New to Regex so I'm sure it can be done more elegantly... but it works. |

Fails to match (019467) 23456 and (016977) 3355 both of which are valid in and around Cumbria.
Additionally, all 02 numbers are formatted (02X) XXXX XXXX, and not as shown above.

This doesn't cope with 5 digit UK telephone numbers (like the ones we have here in rural Somerset) i.e. (01460) xxxxx
