Statistics - A Very Short Note

This is really just a very short note to recognise that today the blog's counter went through 30,000 visits! It genuinely staggers me that so many folk take the time read; look at the pictures & listen to the occasional rant!

A big thank you to everybody who does visit these pages - you make it worth writing them!!

Just out of random interest (don't know if anybody will be in the least bothered about this) but I've always tried to guage the size of places that I've lived in based on their population so below is a list of the statistics of the populations of the places Mal has lived in (!!):

Widnes       58,300                    Runcorn 61,000

Darlington 106,000

Blaithwaite (Cumbria)    <10 year round; Wigton 5,520; Carlisle 107,500

Just for the record, the population of Grendon is 1,495 with the nearby Atherstone at 8,000
But I've never lived in either of these two!!
