We are delighted to announce that we have broken our record for the number of individual visitors to the site when breaking through the 40,000 mark in the last month.

We also set new figures for a single day (7.3K) and a week (£19K).

Thanks to all the readers for your support, and with particular gratitude to those individuals who have contributed letters or comments, as well as those who ‘weren’t too busy’ when the phone rang.
