At this stage I've only removed a few unrequired ACL's, not edited the text
in any way.
While waiting for a reply, I've started rebuilding the box from scratch as
it only takes a few minutes.
I will check the text for anomalies in the meantime - thanks ;-)

P.S I've lost the original thread, but would like to thank you for helping
with a previous problem, you suggested that the ISP might be block ports,
they were! 3128! - I have tried 3129 and it works fine, are there any
recommended ports to use with squid other than 80 or 8080?
