After trawling the net, it would seem quite a few people have swapped the steering column due to it wearing out.

Like I said, it feels like the top bearing/bush, but could be anywhere. However, it looks like separate parts aren't available, and it comes as a complete unit.

I will check everything that has been mentioned already. The tightening of the nut etc, and the nut holding the steering wheel on. If I can't find anything, I think i will buy a LHD column and fit it at my leisure. Its not serious at the moment, more like something that has recently started. I just know it didn't do it before, and once I notice something like that, it will constantly niddle me until I fix it. I know they swing on the wheel at Mot time, and it was only tested last month. Nothing was mentioned about it so they didn't regard it as an issue. But like I said, it will niddle me until I stop it lol.

Thanks everyone for your comments and advice.
