yellow pages?

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

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

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.
 
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 - 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.

The number for Accrington was 3. Our original telephone number was 3836 then they added the 3 - 33836
 
Our original one was 7731. Some clever person may be able to work out what our current one is from that because my late husband and I bought the house from my mother and inherited the phone line. Then we brought the number with us when we moved here.

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!
 
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

Good point polly, although I was under the impression that one line entries were free in 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
