Seems it's the Grand Bazaar, Istanbul - 91 million visitors a year, how many are 'visiting' and how many are just 'shopping' I don't know - either way, Euro Disney by comparison only gets about 10 million - 9 times as busy as Euro Disney - sod that!
Disney World gets a fair number, but since they split it all up the numbers get fragmented between the various bits.

Visits or visitors?Disney World gets a fair number, but since they split it all up the numbers get fragmented between the various bits.
I suspect that's visits and its vists are made up of many multiple visits per year by a lot of people.
Yes but it's not been around all that long, comparitively. I suspect "since records began" is a more likely achievable answer than "since the year dot". You'd think though that HR wouldn't be any busier than say LAX or JFK? Or.. BCIA?
So.. knock in shop? Shirley.. knocking?

Yes but population growth has been exponential, I would guess whatever it is, it is relatively modern. So.. knock in shop? Shirley.. knocking?

But across the world today, the less educated have more children. Whilst the more intelligent you are, the less children you tend to have. So perhaps we'll get thicker!

To keep the programme schedules in order.
Without a three or four minute break, the programmes would bunch up leaving an odd time slot at some point during the day which would be difficult to fill using a standard timed TV show.
Out of interest, as I don't really watch TV and have never had Dave, Discovery or the like, what do they show in these gaps instead...a blank screen, test card, station ident? Without a three or four minute break, the programmes would bunch up leaving an odd time slot at some point during the day which would be difficult to fill using a standard timed TV show.

Why are Eastern European girls for the majority, very beautifull? I mean compared to English women most of them of are incredibly pretty? I asked a friend this very question and he said we have Hitler to thank something to do with no inbreeding under nazi rule 
In addition to diet points, they are generally far more "feminine" in the traditional sense. Especially when it comes to clothes, dressed up to go to the shops and not going for "comfort" with their onesie/ sweatpants. something to do with no inbreeding under nazi rule gwm said:

In addition to diet points, they are generally far more "feminine" in the traditional sense. Especially when it comes to clothes, dressed up to go to the shops and not going for "comfort" with their onesie/ sweatpants. something to do with no inbreeding under nazi rule During the Soviet era blokes were much more likely to die young, leading to a demographic weighted towards a surplus of women. So the blokes that did survive had their pick - meaning the 'beauty' genes got passed down.
I also read something a while ago regarding the differences in body composition of people with a diet high in refined sugar, as opposed to starch. Eastern Europeans in recent history had far more access to potatoes than sugar cane.
