Ceefax p404 does that, yes, as do many newspapers ("Shrewsbury" is
Shawbury), I suppose to give familiar names rather than those of
airfields which mean nothing to so many. I've never seen Bolton (or
something claiming to be Bolton) on that page though.
On 407 you often see places that never appear on 404, I expect they get
that from both the 404 sites and other sources.

Yes, I'm still puzzled, Edmund. Particularly as, IIRC, CDLs don't
provide
max. temperatures which would presumably rule them out. I've quizzed a
colleague at the Beeb to see if he can throw any light on it.

I thought I'd done that.

As before.. I'd go along with the CDL idea if we know for certain that they
provide maximum temperatures but, as I said, I didn't think they did.

I notice page 407 is currently giving Manchester 30C (Woodford was 28C)
as the maximum... odd.

Jon.
