AIUI; there is _not_ a 'BT directory anymore.
Ofcom are the publishers of a book that (is supposed to) contains all the
phone numbers that are not ex-directory. This book is called 'The Phone
Book' and is distributed to each subscriber once per year. This task is
'huge' requiring databases, printing, distribution capability, etc, etc.; so
OFcom puts the job out to tender . The Ofcom contract -to produce the 'Phone
Book' has been won by a telco trading under the name _BT_ . it may look like
a BT directory, it may feel like a BT directory ... but it's no longer the
BT directory ... it's 'The Phone Book".

Wow, I didn't know that. I bet you're great at parties....

That's why you'll always find him in the kitchen...

I get the directory once a year and look at it less often. It's free to search
on BT.com (and presumably other sites) for numbers if I need them, so anyone
who rings expensive directory enquiries numbers need their head read.
