Not only was I most remiss in missing this gem, but it highlights just how bloody blimey popular she became in a matter of mere weeks.
Cast your mind back to the infamous BBC article where they first mentioned the oft recurring figure of 200,000 hits.
Now the more eagle eyed amongst you may pick up that this was the number of hits that the BBC site itself received regarding the Anya story but Anya sicko-fants seized upon this number and began reciting it as the number of readers that the Wanderingscribe site itself had.
Clearly some discrepancy there as the BBC article merely claimed that Anya's site had been recieving 11,000 hits per week (since March) but alluded that her new found popularity was due to the initial BBC article which was published on April 24th 2006.
Those of you with a keen grasp of all things mathematical may deduce that April 24th (1st BBC Article) to May 31st (2nd BBC article) equals 5 weeks @ 11,000 readers (and they said READERS, not page hits) which comes to 55,000 readers.
But lo and behold, this figure was dwarfed by another article that was published in June 2006 by The Pavement, a magazine relating to homeless bods where they inform their avid readers that Anya's site had clocked up an amazing 2,000,000 visitors (yep, that's 2 MILLION) to her site.
Sacré Bleu !!
Of course, if we had our cynical hats on (and to be honest, they are this years fashion must have), we could take anything that The Pavement takes with a pinch of salt.
After all, they cite that Anya's "journey to celebrity is an epic one".
Celebrity?
Say What !?!?
Later on they refer to Anya as a "‘nobody’ turned world famous ‘blogger’"
Oooooooooooooooooooookay.
Perhaps they need to research the definitive meaning of "World Famous"
They even dazzle us with the "biggest revelation" that Wanderingscribe's real name is Anya Peters.
Sorry lads.
She lied to you (Quel SuprÃse!)
Let's not be too harsh on 'em though.
After all, they do provide some solid advice on where you can get away with swigging your cans of Special Brew without getting fined in the London area so they must have the best interests of homeless folks at heart.
Hmmm.. Maybe they'd imbibed a few samples before writing the Anya article .....

Your eloquency knows no bounds, Sir.
Or any beginnings for that matter.
Condescending hugs .............

Despite inept pretentions, 'wobblingscruffbag' and the clone 'wanderingscribe' is the same sad individual; most people know that.
But did you not know that this habit of talking to yourself is a sign of mental illness?
Strange what jealousy can do!
casual, I don't think they are one and the same person at all, and so what if they are?
I expect that twit Anya has commented on her own blog more than once, being the devious little liar that she is!
It's nice to see the one remaining ws fan still visits here.
And even has the freedom to leave comments. A privilege that the other ws hasn't permitted for quite a number of months now.
It's almost as if she doesn't give a flying fig for the opinions of her fan(s).
Big caring hugssssss.........
Anya O'Peters (the magnanimous)
I visit daily, when all other threads of humanity have been wrought from my unearthly fairy fingers. Yes WROUGHT!
I'm wroughted right out. I had to sleep in a un-decorated garden shed last night!
You shouldn't have to do that !
I understand there's a Rover out there with one careful owner that would make a lovely home ........
Hugness Abounds .......
Lady Anya McCartney-Peters
