There have been some significant movers since last month.
Mark Reckons continues his astonishing march up the charts by overtaking Wokingham's Conservative MP to become the No1 Berkshire blogger - and it looks like he's not stopping there!
Nationally-renowned communications professional Neville Hobson jumps into the top-5, while Cllr Dave Luckett makes a spectacular leap (90%) as the main beneficiary of the scoop interview fed to Conservatives by BBC Berkshire presenter Andew Peach which had Labour candidate Naz Sarkar digging himself into a hole.
Elizabeth Thomas, Tony Partridge, June Stoute, The Rock God and Flashing Blade all got into the swing of things with significant rises, but overall the main theme appears to be the continuing consolidation over the top of the chart by elected politicians as demonstrated by Thatcham's Cllr Lee Dillon.

I am NOT a Berkshire blogger, thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteJane Griffiths, rue de Molsheim, Strasbourg, France.
In a non-spatial sense you most definitely are, thank YOU very much, just by dint of being a regular commentator on local issues and your historical connections (of which I'd've thought you'd be proud, and considering you can't escape that fact you don't really have much choice).
ReplyDeleteAnyway it's my list, so it's my rules. There's just no gratitude from some people!
Wow there are a lot of berks bloggers
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, there are also a lot of Bloggers who are berks.....
ReplyDeleteThose on the above chart are less than a third of the total I've collected on my Reading List, but I guess only those who decided to add themselves are the ones who take blogging seriously.
ReplyDeleteHow come their are so many 5166-5198 and 29000+?
ReplyDeleteThanks for maintaining this list OP - much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI can only go down from here!
