[comp.dcom.telecom] Erroneous Phone Book Listings

david@uunet.uu.net (David E A Wilson) (11/04/90)

The Moderator's story reminded me of an interesting mistake made in
the Wollongong 1989 Yellow Pages. The Wespac Banking Corp managed to
get its branches listed under the following headings (in addition to
Banks):

Abattoir Machinery & Equipment *
Abattoirs
Aboriginal Arts & Crafts *
Aboriginal Associations & Organizations
Abrasive Blasting
Abrasive Blasting Equipment
Abrasives
Accomodation Inquiry Services
Accountants & Auditors
Acid Proofing *
Acoustic Materials &/or Services *
Acoustical Consultants
Actuaries
Acupuncture
Addressing Machines *
Adhesives
Adoption Information Services *
Adventure Tours & Holidays

The headings marked with a * had Westpac as their ONLY entry.
