"Most large cities" in UK???

I live in the UK, and while you do see a few in many cities, they are by far the most common in London. I've never seen anything like the dozens you get in London boxes in any other UK city. Apparently Brighton has them, but Birmingham and Manchester hardly ever do. 86.136.250.42 03:33, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another form of these is the 'hot pocket' spam cards showing up in the US in almost all locations.

These spam cards usually advertise MLM schemes and similar businesses that use that model or variants to the MLM model, and are almost always illegally placed. For discussions of these types of tart cards, visit http://www.causs.org/

The term 'hot pocket' refers to the little paper holders, usually but not always hand-made, that they will place anywhere from a few to a couple dozen in, and tape the holder to the side of the phone booth. Usually the card will have an 800 number. They most commonly appear during times of economic downturn. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.53.209.5 (talk) 01:56, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Crack down

Interesting that last month was the 10th anniversary of the Home Office crackdown on these, mentioned in footnote 2. I assume it was a great success. ;-) --CliffC (talk) 04:55, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
