Thanks to you all and a good point about the battery John, and yes, it is a manual. It was new about 16 months ago and always starts the engine with alacrity, however, to save having to put it onto a CTEK every week, I have fitted a battery cut off switch which completely disconnects the battery and which I use every time I park up for more than a couple of days. I wonder if this is upsetting the overseer, although it is odd that it takes 30 minutes or so to wake up? Everything else resumes where it left off.

I'm thinking I might just ignore it for the next 1500 miles or so, as everything else works fine when it is showing. Bad thought?
