Blast from the past

One of our team was surprised to receive a long-forgotten relic in the post last week.

Having opted out of receiving the Yellow Pages years ago, and assuming it had since died a natural death, suddenly there was a bright, brand-new copy in their letterbox.

Before transferring it straight to the recycling bin, they thought they’d try an experiment and showed it to their 17-year-old son … who had absolutely no clue at all of what it was and what it was for.

Does anyone really still have a need for this, we wonder?
