Are you sure?


Whhops!

I have checked out the figures used by my young researchers yesterday,
to find they had put the wrong figures into the Excel spreadsheet!

So, the average winter temperature looks like being 5.5C NOT 4.5C, so
only 6 have been milder in the past 21 years - some difference.

I should have spotted the error, but as we are in the middle of an
inspection right now, didn't make the time to check the figures.

Mea culpa - thanks to you, Col and Graham for the heads up on this
one!
