Though he couldn't miss when my door opens onto the pavement :D

Re: yellow pages?
 

You could report him. An ex of mine delivered these, and I went with him every now n then, and you have to literally hand it over, post it or put it in a secure place

Re: yellow pages?
 

Yep got ours the other day and it is now in the white sack waiting to be recycled...............Yell.com will do for me and anyway the little `uns just rip it up......lol

Re: yellow pages?
 

my 2 took mine off the doorstep and ripped it up on the garden path!! now in the white sack

Re: yellow pages?

Re: yellow pages?
 

So is a bit of mine tbh :o

Re: yellow pages?
 

I was out when mine was delivered last week and they left it on the doorstep. On saturday i got a phone call - checking that my yellow pages were delivered and was it handed to me. I said i was out when it was delivered and it was left on my doorstep. Noticed when i was coming back on the bus from the Park last night there was a lot on the doorsteps in bash..

Re: yellow pages?
 

oooh..... i hope they ring me!

Re: yellow pages?
 

Mine was on my door step when I arrived home from hol's .... not the best coming home pressie I ever got!! but not the worst. :D

Re: yellow pages?
 

There's a few now starting to 'litter' the streets around here. After being on doorsteps over a week the local yobs have started flinging 'em around :rolleyes:

Re: yellow pages?
 

As someone who who advertises heavily in Yellow Pages it seems from this thread that I am wasting a hell of a lot of money!!

Re: yellow pages?
 

Aleks has recently moved to Church and has said that he throws his junk mail back out of the door.

""Re: Thanks for the bin bags
Any leaflets i get through the door i throw into the street as i didnt ask for it so must be wrong house i say."""

Mine was posted through my letter box this morning

Re: yellow pages?
 

Re: yellow pages?
 

I dont know why they bother, i never use it:(
always look at yell.com...its much quicker:rolleyes:

Re: yellow pages?
 

Yell.com has a very low response rate for me, maybe 1 new client in 3 years.

Leaflets work wonders. I have just heelped a family member launch a new business and from 1500 leaflets delivered one Sunday we have had 10 new customers.
This is a fantastic response rate compared with the industry standard of 1 to 2 responses per thousand.

I am just designing a leaflet now for a workman and know he will get a good response rate though I doubt is will be as good as the one above.

People hang on to leaflets for months sometimes years and then ring!! It never ceases to amaze me

Re: yellow pages?
 

Got my new yellow pages yesterday heard a noise, at the front door, not a knock, opened the door and the book fell in, the only thing is went to the door again this morning and hey presto there's another one there, so does anybody want a yellow pages i've got two:p:D

Re: yellow pages?
 

I've had mine. It was posted through the door.

I use mine quite a bit, I never use yell.com.

Re: yellow pages?
 

Heck Lilly you must have a big letter box, mines a standard size, but they couldn't get it through

Re: yellow pages?
 

wonder when we'll get the new phone book?

Re: yellow pages?
 

My phone book is 2007/8 panther so It will probably be next year before I get a new one, or later this year, and you live in Ossy too

Re: yellow pages?
 

Your not going to believe this, just been to my front door to pay the window cleaner and there's another Yellow Pages on my doorstep, thats three now:eek:

Re: yellow pages?
 

Just one tiny point. They don’t want Yellow Pages for recycling. My white sack states NO YELLOW PAGES!

I believe that it is something to do with the dye used to make the pages yellow.

Mine gets pushed through my letterbox once a year as does the regular phone book and Thompson.

But think on this. We BT customers pay for them (except Thompson) in our line rental fee and we get new copies each year whether we want them or not. I accept that businesses need to keep up to date with changes, but how many domestic users need a new phone book every year? We are paying for something that we don’t really need and I for one could do without Yellow Pages or the regular phone book at all.

We domestic customers should have the option of buying a copy of either when we want one and have a suitable reduction in the rental fee.

Re: yellow pages?
 

bit of a wander (but phone related) going back a bit now , but does anyone remember the days before area dialing codes, think Blackburn used to have 2 , Blackburn and Blakewater, not sure how many Accrington had .
Only reason I remember them is my dad was a long distance truck driver and I sometimes went with him during school holidays and he used to have to phone in for instructions on new loads , and one of the offices was in Little Harwood B,burn and it had a Blakewater number

Re: yellow pages?
 

Re - yellow pages - I have a "Recycle for Hyndburn" leaflet which states - Put all your paper in your white sack. Yes Please: newspapers, junk mail, magazines, Yellow Pages and telephone directories.

Re: yellow pages?
 

The number for Accrington was 3. Our original telephone number was 3836 then they added the 3 - 33836

Re: yellow pages?
 

Re: yellow pages?
 

How do you deduce that you pay for Yellow Pages?

With the amounts they charge advertisers I would have thought they were self funding and hugely profit making!

Re: yellow pages?
 

I cant remember the last time i used a yellow pages, i use yell.com, its far easier and means i dont have to dig in the cupboard to find the number for the take-away or a taxi lol

Re: yellow pages?
 

Re: yellow pages?
 

As far as I know they are only free if you have a business account and are therefor already overpaying

I believe the Yellow Pages salespeople are extremely well paid

Re: yellow pages?
 

you can have a look at how much it costs here

Re: yellow pages?
 

Found mine on my windowsill in the garden!
Didn't notice it until i was sat on the couch and caught it out of the corner of my eye!
