The printed version of Yellow Pages. Just had the latest edition put through our letter box and it does seem something of a redundant product. I cannot remember the last time I actually opened one. Straight into the recycle box here.

We used it for a step outside the back door so the cat could use the cat flap without jumping.(Then we recycled it)

In my experience, those who don't phone those that do and ask them to look the number up for them

What a coincidence, I asked my wife at the weekend if we still had a yellow pages, My son was trying to draw up a list of local companies, so that he could send them letters to see if they were looking for apprentices this year (he wants to be a carpenter). I thought that the yellow pages would be a great place to start! But unfortunately we couldn't find a copy, so we had to trawl through the Internet instead.

The cat, the flap, or the book? (Sorry! Couldn't resist as I thought it would make a great title for a children's story).
