Apologies Phil if it's not the first SEO of the day, didn't really
notice otherwise, just had a problem.

Can do privately but not on here I'm afraid.

Not a single visit by a Google spider - I've been monitoring it via
the Webmasters tool and submitted a sitemap (thanks to Tim and Dave

I shall try a SEO expert and see what he says :)

Thanks,
