BT disconnected with blunders in its new phonebook

8:11am Thursday 23rd February 2012 in News By Tom Jennings

BT’s new Oxford phone book has made mistakes for half the county's MPs.

Boris Johnson is listed as MP for Henley, despite stepping down four years ago and moving on to become Mayor or London.

John Howell is now MP for the constituency.

The book also lists Dr Evan Harris as MP for Oxford West and Abingdon, even though he lost the seat to Nicola Blackwood in the May 2010 election.

Ed Vaizey, MP for Wantage, is not listed at all but the phone book helpfully contains a listing for the Central Devon constituency.

Doesn't really matter though does it. Each and every one of them is as useless as the next.

The BT phone book usually goes straight into the recycling as soon as it arrives. Most people with any sense are ex-directory, and the more general info can be found online.
Shame for the OAPs and others who rely on it though.
