Aircon

Just turned it on for the first time now its starting to warm up. I know it usually takes a bit of power away but ffs it felt like I had lost about 20bhp along with most of its willingness to rev..(not one the 1.4 8v strong points anyway).

your air con will be using a little bit of your petrol like u said.... but also remeber the air temp will be getting higher now, like my car, felt sluggish yesterday, but that was becuase i was driving in 5oc..... now its in the 20oc

Makes a huge diferance

I guess so, I remember reading about the Rally of Mexico where the cars are running high in the mountains in hot temperatures and the cars loose something like 60bhp compared to sea level..
