I've often wondered the same thing. It seems a little odd and I'd be surprised if they really were an accurate reflection of reality.

I've also wondered what happened in 2010 that lead to so many visitors, it's not obvious.

How come 'I don't like Mondays - the story behind the song' is showing 10000 plus views? Is this the most viewed post? Could well be since it's been around since 2006.
Also, whenever I log on, there's generally only a handful of others on at the same time max, no matter what time of day it is. What was it about the day in 2010 that caused 76 guests to be online at the same time with 7 regd users?!

I suppose, if you searched Mondays on Google with all its variants then that page would get hit, and it would be self fulfilling prophesy. Once a page gets hit, it gets higher in the list and more people read it. I doubt it would get that many readers.

As for September 2010, I haven't got a clue. Prior to that the day of Live 8 had most users online.

From what I see, it looks like 100s if not 1000s read this forum, but I suspect they are all bots or kitchen sellers.

Not sure this is correct but it does seem as though each day more than 200 people visit, whereas a year or so ago it was more like 150 to 200 each day. Could it be the autumn tour 2013 and Back to Boomtown rekindled interest, coupled with the 2014 festival announcements?

I doubt many people actually visit, most likely kitchen spam or search bots. I suspect there are no more than twenty readers in a day, maybe less. But if anyone is lurking, register and say hello.

Hear hear!

And where have all the tour/post-tour euphoria merchants gone? Melvyn/Bigboss....

When I'm around, I sometimes look. Occasionally there's a known poster, sometimes I'm alone. Other times there maybe 1-3 guests. Probably kitchen spammers.

Old joke but so what? !

There's a kitchen in me rat, what am I gonna do?

Set a kitchen trap. It's a kitchen trap Mark and you've been caught.

I've had the equally annoying double glazing people turn up unannounced today who stand by my upvc door and plastic windows and ask if I'm interested.

It's a double glazing trap, Mark and you've been caught.

I only need someone who says they've some tarmac left over from M6 repairs to turn up and offer to do my drive and it's a hat trick!

The fine art of resurfacing.

Nice one Lisa

This is closer to reality than you could have known (Noel will give you the lesson on surrealism! ) We have some friends in Wokingham whose driveway was done by Mark Adams Driveways or similar. It literally was a case of Ta Mark Adams!
