Wyre Forest District Business Directory

Oo just had the new Wyre Forest District Business Directory - 2007/08 in also available online at, according to the accompanying letter "www.burrows/wyreforestdc.co.uk" the book itself lists the more plausible www.burrows.co.uk/wyreforestdc who are a local publications firm based in Surrey, and Cheshire. Let me just look up Publishers in this local directory shall I?

Anyway it's nice and shiny, with that head-swimming chemical smell. Also available in large print, audio cassette (is it still a cassette?), a CD-ROM; and possibly six other languages where's my babelfish... ah it's an 'If you need help with this document call...'

I do get a kick that Kiddy market is organised by LSD Promotions whose logo resembles a Christian fish.

Onto the Weavers Wharf page, oops sorry that'll be the Contents page, easy mistake to make.


So a "Welcome from John Campion, Leader of Wyre Forest District Council" which is topped by an artists rendition of somewhere I can't quite place I mean that monument in the middle is familiar, but what's that all around it?


Location is sponsored by OGL, fair enough. District Profile is topped by a photo of the canal and new houses in Stourport. Communications has one of those delightful maps that shows us within handy reach of multiple motorway exits, well I say us that's the royal us as in Kidderminster. Turning over they then get an entire page about themselves, while Stourport and Bewdley share a page alongside a photo of Kidderminster market hummph. Kiddy then gets the lion's shar of the Development and Regenerations Sites page, which as they've the most is to be expected.

Okay onto the directory, Classification Index at the front, Entrants' Index at the back with the contents in between, nice and easy. He he "Accou£ntants" snigger.

Last page is an 'ad' for saving energy "Switching off non-essential equipment in an office overnight saves enough energy to run a small car for 100 miles" tell me how to get that energy into my car and I'd be interested otherwise who cares?

Ah well it's a nice shiny smelly book and it's well laid out where it matters the most
