Back to the days of newsagent cards phone boxes contact mags
I've seen many of these cards (in phone boxes to) + mags and walk up places but never opted for them.
For all its pitfall and issues, A/W (some profiles, not all) gives punter more info/details than cards/mags ever did. Once of the benefits of the internet.
As for that other sites (there are several), I've visited them from time to time.
They don't and can't compare to the value of UKP and what it done for punters I like to thank all that have made UKP possible and kept its up and running. And all the contributors members that share info making punting less of a mind field. When looking for and getting the right W/G for services that matter to them
