[edit] Closure date of Rabbit?

The article indicates a closure date for the Rabbit network of December 1993 but I can definitely recall Rabbit phones being advertised in London (on radio station Capital Gold, with a campaign using an adaptation of the song My Old Man's A Dustman) in Autumn 1994 and "stylish" versions aimed at female purchasers on a poster campaign on the London Underground around the start of 1995, by which time it was already clear that new Vodafone subscribers alone per quarter outnumbered all Rabbit subscribers by 25 to 1. (I have no exact citation but I believe that London's Evening Standard ran an article to this effect in late 1994.)

Was the December 1993 closure for Manchester only?
