That neat little world map in the bottom right hand corner of this page may last only as long as the free trial. Then they'll tell me the impossible figure I'd have to pay to keep it, and Salut! North will revert to a more mdoest arrangement.
But use it while it is there. It gives a heartening snapshot of the geographical reach of this little site after such a short time in existence.
Even when you exclude all the visits from Abu Dhabi - it seems I am recorded each time I dive beneath the bonnet to write something new or fiddle with something already there - you see that your fellow readers may be found all over Britain, in north America and Continental Europe. There is even the odd appearance of a visitor in deepest Africa.
All are welcome. I sincerely hope my musings on the North East offer something amusing, entertaining or just interesting. More are to be found at Salut! Sunderland, of course, and even from time to time at Salut! and Salut! Live, and there could be occasional overlap as the four sites continue to develop.
How much time I will have to update them as my new job in Abu Dhabi becomes ever more demanding is open to question. But wherever they lead, and even I do not know the answer to that, they are here to stay.
Please accept my very best wishes for a terrific Christmas and every happiness and success in 2008.
