Is this figure correct and if so what made somany people come online at that time of day as I belive that it was a lot less than that before then

It counts unique ULRs so yes it's genuine in that sense but it will be counting guests as well (including webots that are not on the list) who may or may not be people genuinely interested in the site. As to why impossible to say.

A curious thing about Mondays- I used to try and run an internet retail business (not plants) and as well as our shop website we also used to put things on eBay. We tried various different dates and times, but auctions finishing on a Monday nearly always did better than other days.
Perhaps it's all those people back at work on Monday after the weekend, desperately looking for something to do that isn't work :wink:
