I got lucky tonight, I came home from the Tea Hut at Blackheath and through traffic that was bad enough to have me switch the engine off a few times. I did that again while I wedged the gate at home, went to turn the key and ....nothing.  ::)  It has stayed that way too, maybe I popped a fuse this time as well, I'll go see in daylight. However as a new barrel has only turned out to be twenty odd quid from DSS I think I'll plain get a new one.  ;)

Bryanj:
It wont be the barrel, it will be the contact block at the bottom where the loom plugs in, or in a lot of cases doesnt properly.
Dont forget your new switch wont have the same key so wont open the seat.
Always quote the bike as parts are not compatible accross models

In the past I’ve found that the plug connections have been bad and also the rotary contacts. Clean up the connectors and give it a try. If you need to do the rotary switch it can be separated from the barrel by pushing in the three clips at the bottom of the barrel, you can then access the rotary switch to spray with contact cleaner.

Thanks Deano.  ;)  I've since taken the cowards way out and ordered a new unit, but I will dissect the old one and see what might be wrong with it.
