I thought Edinburgh was dear! Where abouts are you, macleod? Did you design your own ad or did Y/P do it for you?

The price came down a couple of years ago because an overlapping area got it's own Y/P, so the coverage wasn't as big as before.

The price relates to the population, and I get calls most days, so it must pay to be in a dense part of the country.

I don't think I worded that quite right, but you know what I mean.

Paid £102 inc vat for 60mm x 65mm.  ;D

I did my advert through Safecontractor.

YP telesales also rang me and quoted over £300 for the same size  :o

If you want a cheaper deal, just keep saying 'No', and they keep on comming down in price!

Yes that seems to be the case from some replies above.  Ill be doing the same next year.

Top Tip  ;)
