Christ, just chuck em on the back step. That's what they do here

Apparently, alledgedly, they check that they've been delivered, properly, per instructions video.....that I didn't watch, as I don't actually do instructions like. noooo:

They do a random sample of calls to check that the deliveries have taken place, correctly. It's in their contract with "YELL" ~ However the chances of anyone complaining that you left the book on the step are remote as most people expect nothing else.

Googling "Stavros ~ no job too small" is not going to get you very far.

I haven't used a phone book in years. I find them cumbersome. We use online resources. Ours go in the recycling as soon as they arrive. There should be an opt out feature.

The Yellow Pages mountain has come down to a mere 70 feet now, but has caused mucho rumpuso's during it's sizeable contraction.

I've been all but banished from helping due to my apparent 'overly energetic, couldn't give a toss gung ho Jeremy Clarkson style' of disposing of them', whatever tf THAT means? confused:

Stuuf em, all of them. Last time I offer to help. Banghead
