Oh goodness me! It looks like everything has been sorted out now. I tried
once more with
apt-get -f install
and this time unlike the previous times apt appears to have fixed things.
Here is the output:

I can't say I'm totally clear on what has corrected the system, I'm
guessing a combination of correcting the sources.lists and the final
apt-get -f install .
Well anyway, many thanks to all for the suggestions and help.
Cheers,
Richard.
