OT Yellow pages

The last printed edition of Yellow Pages has been dropping throughletterboxes for a month or so now,looking under the category Civil Engineers shows no actual entry in myedition but suggest options of Groundwork Contractors or structural engineers .The Joke used to be that it once read ? Civil Engineers see Boring?.Now I think I read that once but have I got a false memory created byrepeated mentions over the years of an apocryphal story.To get a little on topic when did anyone on here use them for help withany D.I.Y ?I don?t think I have used one for looking up a supplier for over 20 yearsnow though in a D.I.Y context the volume itself once had uses as a prop orwedge and I did find one hung up as a desperate measure inside a portalooon one occasion.GH

Ripping an old (thick) telephone or yellow pages book was little to do with strength and more to do with technique. Once the spine was bent and a tear started at the bend point the book ripped with ease.
