Netherlands - 1.6%

Surprising that the Netherlands are so low, and Belgium is missing.

Oh I dunno...


No idea who stole Belgium though... 8-}

Don't know where you got that map, but it appears that I have been living a few kilometres from where Groningen should be...

Apparently a site for someone called Neandertal Hymn Writer  :D

Hey, who misses Belgium?  :P

Aww, now that's impolite to our economically more successful (as well as indomitably floating) southern neighbours. I apologise. Still it's remarkable that after the Yanks the Frogs are your most frequent viewers. Does that translate into sales figures? No, I'm not being a nosy little pest at all, just curious.

Cheers,

Unfortunately I don't keep records by individual country, just by region.  So the order stats so far this year are:

UK - 66.6%
Europe - 19.4%
North America - 9.5%
Aus/NZ - 3.6%
R of the W - 0.8%

Hmm. It looks like it's about his world-famous organ as well. You sure know where to find stuff, right?  :D

The map seems to imply that some famous organs would disappear under water if the polar caps keep melting and all that. Yes, those and a few other bits and pieces... But rest assured that Groningen is located on that small spur of green up north jutting out from the rest, and not where this map would have it be.

Unfortunately, my house isn't, as it's in a modern suburb, and well into the blue zone.  :'(  (Stop crying now, it will only make it worse!)

Back on topic, it seems the rest of the world (i.e. China?) is only looking, and not buying much?

Kind of, although it's hard to tell how many of those China visits are spam-based.  We do have a couple of Chinese customers, but they don't order very often.  We get some quite random visit locations when you look at the full breakdown.  This week we had Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Chile popping in for a look about...!

Our 'Rest of the World' are nearly always from the same customers in China and Russia.  Aside from them, we've had one-off's to Argentina, Brazil and Bermuda in the last 6 months!

Beat me to it Leon ;) Was just about to say the chinese hits are more than likely spammers

Probably spammers, yes. Or people looking in on the progress of all those Chinese figures that were requested (Korea/Boxer rebellion/Warlord period and so on).  ;)

Think of the sales potential here! I say give 'em what they want! Or would it just be another ploy to hoard all the metal reserves?  :-\
