By 1 Jan 2005 the figure was 169,667
By 1 Jan 2006 it was 402,047
By 1 Jan 2007 it was 833,212
And on 1 Jan 2008 it was 1,648,280
So how many will there be at 12.01am, 1 Jan 2009?
Reply to this thread to make your prediction. The closest wins a bottle of champagne.
Please limit your reply on this thread just to predictions. Of course it's tempting to debate this, but it'll make it hard to find the winner at the end of the year. Thanks 
This thread will be closed on 31 Jan 2008 (otherwise it'd be unfair as people would just wait towards the end of the year to make a prediction).
Good luck and Happy New Year!
