Title: Pass me the phone book
Post by: Gegs on Thursday, 22 November 2018, 12:45 PM
I asked my son to pass me the phone book, and he handed me his mobile phone, saying, "dad you're so old!" Anyway, to cut a long story short, spider dead, phone smashed, son distraught. :whistling:

Yeah, had a new phone book [yellow pages] turn up at work last week; about quarter of the size they used to be! I guess businesses just don't think it's worth being in there any more.

We had a new phone book delivered last week it says it's the final edition
I guess it's going to be yell.com for the future.
As already said it's small and not really very much in it .
Guess that's progress
:cheers:

That's fine for all those with a smartphone and PC but my mother in law lives on her own in a small village and has no computer or mobile phone and she's not the only one.  What are people like her supposed to do when they need to find a number?

I'm guessing 'directory enquiries' is still available in the UK but not sure if those calls are free [I suspect 'not'].
