Little things please little minds. I have now had over 100 people visit my blog since I stuck a counter on it. If one of them was you, thank you. And thank you for coming back. Your visits make it all worthwhile. Eventually the counter will be spinning so fast it resembles an old-fashioned petrol pump gauge!
I hope that the visitors who have read my blog have found it helpful. I am interested to see that yesterday’s post achieved more hits than any other. Did people come to the page because they thought I was offering phone upgrades? What did they think when they found out what was really happening on the page? The stats behind my counter do not tell me how long people stayed!
What would it be like if we all had counters attached to us for the number of people we met? I bet we would be surprised. Just a short visit into town today I met one person I knew in the menswear section of M&S (I did not buy anything) and another in the church car park. Add to that the people to whom I spoke in the different shops I visited and contact on the phone with a garage to arrange to get my car serviced. Then I have to include personal hits with my family. And it’s only just midday.
Would any of those people have considered their encounters with me on their own personal hit counters?
And now vaguely relevant jokes:
Cigarettes are a major cause of statistics.
Statistics prove that the number of children you have is an hereditary trait. If your parents do not have children, neither will you.
You can always tell a statistician.
But you can’t tell him much.
