Has anyone worked out roughly how long it will take to get to a million, I wonder?

I seem to remember that Tony Martin worked out it would be in excess of fifty years !

Tony Watson, actually!

54 years, I said, assuming 50 a day, I think, but it's slowed down a bit during the last week so it will take even longer!

Right, here's the latest forecast.

So far, this thing has been progressing at about 40 a day (a dip from the average of 50 earlier on). That means we should reach one million in 64 years' time.

That's me out for the millionth post, then. My family tends to be long-lived, but not as long-lived as that.

Many apologies Tony ! It was you I was thinking of, Tony Martin is the vigilante king isn't he ? Goodness knows where that slip came from.

Anway, better not take up any more valuable space on the way to the magic number ( do you think tonybob was being just a little too ambitious with the target ? )

SusanDoris,
Tony calculated it will take 25 years or something to get to one million.
We are well on the way.

My friend here goes to the swimming pool often. I bought myself one swm suit in black colour, but I have not gone yet. I am planning.
I like to go into salty water. I like natural water, but it is too cold.

How often do you go to swim?

Yes well enough chatter, or we can't possibly get this done in 64 years lol

Great! I'll add that to my list of 'Reasons to carry on living'. Just after bacon rolls.

Though I worry for Kittybriton having to track down NINE pictures of nighties and fit them all on to one post just before we hit a thousand ... but I do hope she is there to do it.

How do you time flies Daniel? I've never been nimble enough with a stopwatch.
