Hi, Martin,

You are quite right. Currently 102% average for the year in Copley, so
no
problems here. We get used to the southern England bias and tend not
to
listen.

.... unfortunately, it is even worse that 'bias'; it's not knowing what
is going on & keeping up to date with the 'real' weather!

Martin.
