Cheers for the indepth reply mate

Yes seems like a bit of a contradiction mate for sure.
From what I understand in all my dealings with the my Cosworth mechanic and two Good Ridge authorised dealers.
The first issue is the fact that my hoses don't have the clear plastic 'Goodridge' sleeves on the outsie of them.
Secondly and the first thing the aforementioned people bring up when I show them my hoses is the fact that they don't have the little yellow sleeves with for example "FM823465877" stamped on them.
It's a safe guess these are some LTSA "Land Transport Safety Authroity" number

I'll make some more enquiries on Tuesday when people are back at work.
