It hasnt proved all that successful - out of the 10,000 on the database only 
3009 have been identified as active.  Im trying to modify the caching, so that 
locations that have not returned any data recently (i.e. last 24 hours) get 
marked as "old".  For example ( http://www.sanddesign.co.uk/weather/index.php?
location=NZCM&action=report&country=Antarcitca%20(New%20Zealand) ) McMurdo 
sound hasnt returned any data in the last 27 days, but it is still set 
as "current data".

Ive still got the problem of different country names, plus many of the 
locations in the 10,000 database I downloaded are spelt incorrectly!
