7095 - if you erase the 9, then the resulting 705, on a calculator display, would read 'SOL' when turned upside down.
Then, if you were to subtract 900 from your own total (6975), to give 6075, that would, under similar conditions read 'SLOG' - which might be an apt way to interpret your feelings about raising your own post count accordingly?

Such things come to me without any effort - possibly due to all those years having to decypher students' attempts at mathematics, reading exercise books upside-down as I walked round the classroom. It's no trouble, really!

I will admit I am a little "blonde" sometimes
I actually thought Unicorns were real in 6th year at school, nobody had ever told me otherwise, I figured I better stay blonde so that it explains it when people meet me for the first time

As an answer to one of my exam questions many years ago:
Q: "What's special about an equilateral triangle?"
A: "It's got four sides!"
So, woefully that programme might not be so far off the mark!

Wonder if there's a National Rail station which does?...
