Never mind - I got a Davis Vantage Pro 2 a couple of days ago :-) I'll
leave the Maplins rain gauge running and compare the 2 rain readings when
we next get rain. Will post the results.

OK we've had rain. When my Maplin's rain gauge first reached 4mm, my Davis
VP2 was showing 5.2mm. Looks like mine is also under-reading.
