    This might be worth a look:

    22inHG is pretty good. IIRC mine was 18 and the 535 certainly wasnt any lower than that. It changes above sea level but bearing in mind where you live I dont think you have to factor that in

    Haha funny you mention that actually - I did some research and apparently the highest place in Liverpool is 230ft above sea level so should be fairly reasonable The gauge is getting changed as it wasn't quite calibrated correctly.

    230ft above sea level? Must be the top of the Radio City tower You havent had the back of the gauge to 'calibrate' it have you?

    Radio City? Does Kev Seed still work the morning shift there?

    That guy reminds me of my childhood, used to work at Rock FM instead!
