Ok will try that when I get home tonight and let you know how it goes! Btw thank you for your help on this Tony, its much appreciated!!!

I know it does not - that is the correct situation and no I only have two other phone sockets in the house so this would make a total of 4 sockets one of which is the master!! It is the second extension pack so I am completely unsure as to what the issue is - it may be that I have to give up...

No does not work unfortunately!
