More good stuff there Jeff.
Andy, I totally understand mate! If you do fancy coming over, I can monitor the weather forecasts for you. The Met Office ( a department of the Ministry of Defence, believe it or not!) are reasonably good with their long-range forecasts for up to about ten or twelve days in advance, and have been pretty accurate, almost to the minute, this year.
The last seven years was easy for them - they just got up in the morning, and typed in 'RAIN' on their computer broadcasts !!!
