I have to question the official statistics for Torquay today, 8 miles
down the coast?

According to BBC Ceefax page 407, Torquay was the sunniest place in the
UK with 10.8hrs of sunshine.

It has been virtualy cloudy all day here in Teignmouth, South Devon.

Even allowing for the fact that any sunshine after 18:00 yesterday
would have been included, this is utter nonsense.


Could the Ceefax page still have been showing the previous day's
reading? At what time of day does the page get updated?
