That did it if i set the locale to be gb rather than us whilst running the above
command.  what it changed was

Option         "XkbLayout"          "gb"

In the InputDevice section of  /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

Though this now leaves me with another problem of

The pipe backslash key now doesn't function exactly as described here

http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2002/debian-x-200209/msg00191.html

the highlight of which is

" And it works, mostly. The last XkbSymbols line had to be commented out.
Now, everything works, except for the pipe/backslash key, which is
generating a keycode of 106. Being a novice playing with Xkb, could
someone help me out here, by telling me how I could get a pipe symbol,
after messing with my keymap so much in order to get the rest working ?"

Any thoughts on that ?  Though why would you need a pipe symbol if you're using
a gui :-)
