Those systems that don't allow a country prefix are broken. And those that won't let me use a "+" prefix to indicate the number is in IDD format annoy me too.

Certainly Worcesters (01905) and Blackburn have some numbers like this, so presumably others do too. You missed out that 01xxx can also have 5 digits following: i.e. 01xxx xxxxx.
