Does anyone know of anyone who has ever used 118118 or similar services when you can do it via Google? I can remember calling 192 on a Sunday morning years ago and asking for the number of a guy called Wildey (I wasn't even sure of the spelling) who lived somewhere in Scotland, a helpful lady tracked him down in a few minutes at no cost. I doubt if you would get very far these days. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

I used to work for the GPO as a Telephonist Part Time Nights (or the nighttime operator in English). Part of that job involved working in the "DQ" suite, otherwise known as Directory Enquiries - dial 192. It was always different and interesting to get a call like that and I once had a request for the number of "the old fella who lives down the Barrack Road" . The caller told me that everyone knows him but strangly he did not know his name. After a few enquiries with some of the older staff I found out what his name was and was able to find his number. We would often spend an hour or more trying to find a number and then ring the caller back. Our briefing in those days was to make all reasonable enquiries and effort to enable the subscriber (customer) to make the call but that was long before privatisation when service not profit was the key driver.
