I've just checked PB for some decent pics of mine during the building stage and there aren't any. However you can just about make out the way the blocks are laid in the below two pics. I guess either way works fine and if I'm completely honest I don't know how I ended up with it being done like I did. I think the architect just drew the plans like that and as I am not a builder I just went with it.
The wall painted White in the second pic is the 10m wall and doesn't have piers. The back wall is done in bricks for asthetics (I think) and does have piers.

Thinking about it I think they are 100mm blocks. I used 19 pallets of them so did get through quite a few yeah but I sorted a deal on them so it wasn't much of an issue.

A company from ebay and I can't recall their details. Its a standard 4m double garage door. Remote, metal slats, plasticol (sp) coated etc etc and was about £900.
If you have time look about on there and you may get one second hand. If not there are a few companies selling them.

im no bricky, and sont really see it as a problem from a structual point of view, and as the spec states this garage is to be rendered to match the house, it wont even be seen

No mate why would it double the price of the job? As i say its easier to do it right. Im not saying its not structually sound in fact im not actually saying anything really towards your job - im talking in general mate about brikies. Its always baffled me why they dont work the bond, it should be in their heads its not like you have to draw it out or anything 
Is it being rendered inside too?
Ive also always beleived in the saying that i was taught, that more often than not, if a job looks right then it 'usually' is!

im still trying to find why some people charge so much more than others, and yes i can see what your saying, but i gave them a dimension this building had to fit into, maximising the space, so, from my point of view if the needed a half block then is there another way to do it ?

I honestly dont know why there is so much discrepincy in pricing mate.
As a rule of thumb we charge 750m2 for dwelling extensions(ground floor), 650m2 for the second floor. £370 per thousand for facing bricks. £9per m2 for 100mm blockwork, £11 for 140mm blockwork(add 50p per m2 for jointed blockwork).
Blockpaving is around £50per m2 or £57per m2 if done in types like 'plaspave sorrento'.
