The MetO calculate regional and UK means using the scanned/digitised records

I think that 1910 was when the Scottish records begin and so the for UK records that is as far back as you can go. Let's face it, if we used the CET for the whole of the UK I imagine people living outside that region such as in Devon would complain.
