Hi Tony,

Each country's telephone numbers require different patterns to match them. I've only programmed in the US and international format (+1, etc) phone number patterns for my own use. I'd love to include other countries, but I haven't had time to dedicate to it.

If you go to the options page for the extension, there are fields that will allow you to enter your own regular expression patterns. Check out http://www.regular-expressions.info/ for more information on regular expressions. If you come up with patterns that work well for the UK, I would be very happy to include them in the next version of the extension.

Thanks, Jack
