Hiding the article ID in a Joomla menu

I have a series of sequentially-numbered items in several named categories, which appear as numbered lists on this page. However, the added article ID in the URL is confusing the client.

I know that Joomla now adds the article ID to URLs, and that there is no easy way of removing it. The last time I needed to alter something I hacked the relevant template, but writing URLs is more involved.

I need this: http://vision2020.org.uk/wishlist-for-retail/131-16-local-shops.html

to become: http://vision2020.org.uk/wishlist-for-retail/16-local-shops.html

Has anyone tackled this issue without resorting to a (possibly outdated or bloated) plug-in?

Try use a SEF component like ACEsef or sh404sef which lets you customise each url. This will be far easier than you trying to change the com_content component in order to fix your urls.
