The post that was quoted here has been removedWe have free papers in the US too. We don't have scads of people hawking them, tho. In my city, there are racks for the local free paper painted bright red so you can't miss them and it comes out weekly, and there are never any left by the end of the week no matter the size of the rack. But then our local free paper is a quality paper, so people actually want to read it.

In the US, the most visible organization asking for our change in the street is the Salvation Army. They are quite well-behaved tho, and they are a charming sight during the holidays with their red kettles and bell-ringers. They just stand ringing their bells tho, and they don't accost you or gather in large numbers, they just stand watch over their red kettle.

have to admit, never had a paper free or otherwise pushed in my face.
if you tell them you don't want their f'ing paper and punch them in the face they'll soon stop offering you one....of course some might punch back 😛

The post that was quoted here has been removedthe only free paper i can think of in the whole of n. ireland is the university of ulsters but they only really give it to students.
would it not just be easier to take one? then at least when the others try you can shove it in their face.
