@Spongebobette they were quite close to the main bit of the university in a place teeming with students I'm told. That might have been why they thought it was a good spot but it seems to me that Bristol is just the sort of place where MLM and the paper-based harassment of people going about their business would be particularly badly received. I wouldn't fancy their chances of a polite exchange with a lot of the students either.
Still, it won't have cost their upline or FLP time, petrol, parking or printing costs so they will probably be told to repeat the exercise and try a bit harder next time.
