Thanks for your advise - I will apply for a new visa...

So far I have written to my MP and asked him to contact Stephen Lillie regarding this matter. I have also contacted the Embassy via email (3 different address), facebook and twitter (they have already replied via twitter). I will phone them in the morning, but hopefully i will have a reply from one of my emails by then...

I have also dropped an email to VFS who is the company who checks over the visas....

Bring on the war....
