If by somewhere you mean outside of the UK then I accept your point. The NOTAMs that I've seen pinned up are normally for the entire UK (hense someone else's observation that there's just so many).
Today, a list of notams for the whole of the UK would be unmanagable. Even a narrow route briefing can generate several pages. The old "few sheets pinned on a wall" system is long dead for serious UK cross-country flying, unless it shows only airspace that is prohibited to enter.

Now, there is a school of thought that notams of non-prohibited stuff are not worth reading for VFR flight, and they would not be far off.
