Happy Anniversary - it's the first site I visit when I fire up my PC in the morning (and ever interesting as I grew up and lived around East London/South West Essex and recognise many of my old haunts from days of yore)

Perhaps from different lenses: popularity, foresight, DG preference etc

Your discipline, your fortitude, your imagination - your unique temperament coupled with your skill set have got you here.
A few years ago you reached out to your community as you were concerned that you might be running out of ideas. However, the opposite happened.
You have compiled a living encyclopedia that seemingly has no end that has been, and still is, a joy to read. Thank you.
Congratulations, 10,000 times over.

That's stunning, astounding and astonishing!! The diversity is the important thing - if a post is not interesting to a specific reader on a particlar day, move on; an absorbing one will come along soon. For me, "I went for a walk" is the icing on the huge Diamond Geezer cake, and I hope you will be tucking in to a suitably-themed cake at some point today.

Many, many congratulations DG on such a monumental achievement! You say it's merely quantity (as if that wasn't amazing in itself) but every word written is also quality of the highest standard.
Your blog has been part of my daily routine for so long now (14? 15 years?) and I will keep coming back for as long as you continue!

I guess I'm just repeating others now, but I wanted to add something to celebrate your 10,000th. Thank you for all the posts, the inspiration which has helped ignite a fascination with London, and letting me indulge in my nerdiness. I can't say I've managed to read the blog every day, but I've always caught up later and so must have read every post over many years. I can't believe you've kept it up. Congratulations!

Congrats, DG! I've been reading since I moved to London in 2010, and given that I read via RSS and never skip posts, I'll wager that means I've read well over 5,000 of your 10k ā and very enjoyable and informative they have been too. Here's to the next 10,000!
