No problem at all. Thanks for letting me use it (Albeit rather cheekily and without asking you!) All the best. John

I’ve just found your use of my picture, thanks to a web search, and read this article. I agree with your thoughts on Yell(ow Pages): too many memories of trying to find what I wanted in a maze of poorly-thought-out categories. Whatever I searched for, I’d get referred to another section…. Frustrating!

Thanks for your kind comments on my photos, too.

The stats for smartphones are frightening too. They are so dominant in the business sector now that they will transfer across completely to consumer users and become the norm within the next few years.

For me, that will render the yellow Pages as nothing more than litter.

Totally agree, everyone I know uses google or similar search engines. Our copy also went straight in the bin (recyle).

If you have a smart phone you are never going to pick up yellow pages again. It can’t find a company, give you directions or let you email direct!
