Ubique Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 We live in the Country 3.5 miles from the City . For various reasons we use our back door when we leave our home . Three days ago the Postman knocked on our front door with a parcel , on opening the door as well as the Postie and the parcel I found a very damp Yellow Pages which must have been put / thrown there some two / three days previous . Was put rightly / wrongly straight into the recycling bin. Today I walked down the lane from our home passed , what I know is an empty home because the occupants are enjoying the sun in Spain , and are there for the next week . The drive to their home is " secured " by a five bar gate , thrown over this gate was their copy of the Yellow Page , even more soaking and useless than mine . I accept fully that the distribution of this publication by somebody gives them employment but they have a responsibility to ensure that this publication is distrubited properly - it's what the advertisers pay for and expect. I know that I could have complained to Yellow Pages - and perhaps I should have - but at my age I certainly have better things to do with the rest of my life .

dippyhippy Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi Ubique! We received ours the other day, and it was popped through the letterbox. I seem to recall that in previous years, it had been left on the doorstep, but was in a clear plastic wrapping/bag. Even if it was left outside, the contents remained dry! Probably for either cost or environmental reasons, the bag has been ditched - which is great.....but only if you receive it in a usable condition! To be honest, I'm quite surprised we still get them - most information is available via the internet or mobile phone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubique Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Dippy , you are correct again , I , like you believe that it got a very limited " audience " . Mrs U and I had a discussion re our use of this publication - only lasted a very short time , we couldn't remember - and nor were we bother as to when we last used this publication . As you say , in previous years it was wrapped in clear plastic. Oh ! I nearly forgot , our letter box is wide enough to take at least two Yellow Pages - believe that the delivery person (s) stopped the vehicle they were using in our pull in , and threw the Yellow Pages toward our front door . At our neighbours house it was very apparent , but no evidence for a court that their copy was thrown over their five bar gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenknight Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Sorry Roger can't do that! I simply forgot to factor in the yellow peril therefore it will stop the lid from closing which could mean Refus..all. So once again it's a very early trip to Ubiques bin.
