Well we did use to hold the UK's temperature record...

That applies to the whole of Cheltenham...

I've noticed that, at this time of year, in this sort of weather, the
temperatures I record are often near the top of the list.

Yes, it's because it seems to happen so very often that you're ahead of
everywhere else that I wondered whether something might be amiss.

Shouldn't you also ask Gravesend & Southampton about that, though?

Possibly, but that's not so easy as they don't post to usw. Also I
have the impression that you finish top of the list even more often than
they do.
