I thought Monday was the 11th of May?
Monday was the 11th of May, but the day the post got popular was Wednesday 13th May.
In DG style, I trust tomorrow will be dedicated to a list of the least-visited posts.
A Bottom Twenty would consist solely of posts from 2002.

Meanwhile the fewest number of visitors each year is always on Christmas Day.
I'm stunned by the absence of your z470xi mobile phone review from this list.

Was also going to mention the z470xi ...

But also - what about the famous donuts post that gathered the most comments?
Keep up the good work DG.
Just because a post is deemed 'outstanding' doesn't mean it gets an outstanding number of visitors.

All of the Top 20 rely on external influence, not necessarily merit.
Well done on your psephology and attendant popularity!

Don't suppose you'll be paying a visit to the People's Republic of Brighton and Hove any time soon?
My favourite ever post is still this one about silage and custard: http://diamondgeezer.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/lumpy-with-skin.html?m=1
A Samuel Pepys for our time. I hope you are also being archived by the British Library.
I enjoyed that little stroll down Memory Lane. You have some real gems in there and it was good to relive some of them.

Just this week an elderly lady who couldn't find her Freedom Pass in her bag, offered to pay cash on the bus....
Don't change the template! Responsive design isn't everything it's cracked up to be. And I like Old School. I've given up on the BBC News site, BTW. Unreadable now.
British Library, yes - http://www.webarchive.org.uk/ukwa/target/7176225/source/search

The FAQ says they will typically revisit and save a new "instance" of a website every 6 months, depending on the likelihood that a website will change, but they last saved an "instance" of DG nearly 3 years ago.

According to their statistics - http://www.webarchive.org.uk/ukwa/statistics - they added 294 instances, 20 websites and 118GB last month, and the total is over 70,000 instances, 14,500 websites, and 26TB.
And, you certainly do write "interesting, original, relevant and accessible stuff" consistently and with flair. Thank you! And, please keep at it.

Packing for my annual trip to London. Arrive next Thursday.
Although the British Library is technically archiving this blog, in reality they haven't recently. And when they do they're only saving the last week and a half of every month, thanks to Blogger's insistence on truncating my pages after ten-or-so posts.

So technically yes, but in reality no.
A high number of visitors but a low number of comments.
Interestingly (or not) I usually visit every day - except I didn't yesterday.
Puzzled that no post features in the twenty from the Christmas week of posts listing the sundry bits of London geography including the name Noel.
As expected, the dissipating fallout from yesterday's tweet has propelled Thursday 14th May 2015 to number 12 in my Top Twenty list.
Better write a controversial post about kittens or coffee drinkers or an annoying person in the office to keep 'em all on board then :).
Congratulations for having a day with 10,000+ visitors. Regrettably, the post in concern was probably one of the (very rare) statements that I had to disagree.

IMHO it just happened that those constituencies had a very tight battle, and things like that would happen (with no reduced effect) even if proportional representative was chosen.
This blog has always responded to my plethora of mobile devices along the years. Silly Redditors!
