   Dear all,

   Have just made a couple of minor suggestions - and one bigger one! As this is a joint
   release, it seems a bit unbalanced to have three quotes from the Met Office and one from
   UEA. Can I suggest attributing one of the Met Office quotes to Phil as well as his short
   point on temperatures? (Please see attached.) Happy to discuss.

   Best, Annie

      Dear All,
          Annie thought I should add a quote, so I have.  I also noticed that in the
      UK series, the last 6 years are the 6 warmest years, so added a sentence
      on that.
         Nearer the Dec 13 release date can someone check the CET series.  I know
      we've had a warm start to December and we're only at the 6th, but if it continues
      at say an anomaly of about 2 deg C above 1961-90, the year would just creep into
      being second warmest in the CET series behind 2006. 2007 won't break 2006's record,
      but a statement that we've just had the warmest 2 years in the entire 349 year
      CET series would be good to add to the UK sentence I've added.  This would need
      checking on the 12th and looking at the 10-day forecast at that point.
        This final bit could wait till the 2008 'forecast' press release in early Jan, if
     you're
      still going to do that.
      Cheers
      Phil
