I already had - default-cache-ttl 1800 in, along with -
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt4 - so I’ve just added -
max-cache-ttl 14400. 

So it now looks like this -
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt4
default-cache-ttl 1800
max-cache-ttl 14400

I've also got 'gpg-agent-info-london' dated 16-8-13 which just has this
one line - 'GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-6SDc71/S.gpg-agent:7418:1'
Don't know what that is all about!

So we'll see how it goes.

Thanks
Sharon.
