    What a lovely idea @covered in bliss

    I used to press flowers as a child and once I got a special machine made of wood and screws so I could press flowers without the use of heavy books.  I think the yellow pages is a lot slimmer now but perhaps it could work. It would be nice to try.

    Last weekend whilst visiting one of my in laws, I noticed they had a copy of the (slim) yellow pages and on the front cover in large black letters it said, "Last edition" :bawling:

    This post reminds me - does anyone call 411 anymore for information. Does it even still exist? I also remember calling the phone number for the weather every day before work, and once in a while calling the time. I think the number for the time started with 844 - “At the tone the time will be ....”

    Yes! I can’t believe I actually called for the TIME.

    Ah , the time. Yep, used to call the time to try and get your digital watch set to the exact second, got to be ready to press that button as soon as you hear the beep. It also gave you the temperature (at least the local one here did). "At the tone the time will be 9:48 and 40 seconds...beeeeep, temperature 48 degrees...at the tone the time will be 9:48 and 50 seconds....."

    And as for 411, it does still exist. The owner of my company's brother who does some work out of our office/share's our office manager still uses it. I hear him in the next room calling it on his cell phone, asking for a phone number (most recently his dentist's office), then I'll Google what he's looking for, scribble down the number and put it on the desk in front of him while he's still waiting for 411 to get him an answer. He's 75 or 76, can't break old habits apparently.
