Similarly the local phone book turns up as well.
It's not as if in these days of the internet I ever use either, seems such a waste of someones money, I'm glad it's not mine.

Yellow Pages customers fund the directory, it is a private business now. More and more people have switched online only but there are more areas covered by separate books now which is another reason why each one is thinner than they used to be. The same is true of Thomson directories although I haven't bothered with that one since the complete failure to generate any business for me in 2002.
BT I am less certain about, possibly part-subsidised by the government but I am far from sure.
