I guess when the August rainfall maps are published, there'll be a big

Yes-I was just going to ask whether you have any stats about
Cheltenham being especially dry. How do you compare with Gloucester,
just down the road?
(I am now determined to ask the old gaffer down the road where I work
for his figures as they go back 10 years I think and will give me a
useful comparison-especially since November when my (work) AWS got set
up. It is very pleasant working in the same room that the AWS data is
shown!)

ps: according to The Times the other day the last Test 'could' be
seriously influenced by stormy conditions-it made the front page!
