Well I'm still on-line - perhaps they don't have the technology to cut me
off whilst I am actually on-line?

Well I'm staying on for the duration just to cost them a few extra quid!

Well, my clock says 7.49pm and this thread seems to have gone a bit
quiet.

Maybe Tony et-al have been dumped by Breathe ? ... Or they have lives
away from the keyboard :-D

Still on-line at 13.42!

I cannot see how a free-phone number that I have dialled in on at 12.30 can
suddenly get charged to my BT account at the stroke of 13.00.

I'm sure that if I disconnected and tried to get back on then I would not be
able to!

if it is a freephone number you will be ok however if it is an indirect 
operator number like freeserve unlimited or Lineone then the 3rd party 
telco has the ability to charge you.

I could give Breathe a call to get them to hurry-up with disconnecting
you if you are at all anxious ;-)
