Yes, it's a reference to notices posted onto lampposts. A lot of people said they loved the name.

I did wonder how well it would travel, whether or not people from outside the UK stuck notices on lampposts, if they called them lampposts etc.

Here in North America, these sorts of signs are attached to any pole that can handle them, but powerline poles are favourites because they're wood (and therefore staple-friendly). Toronto has community posting boards that have started going up (put up by our beneficent advertisers, Astral Media, who would love to get out of that obligation and just advertise more).
