Hi everyone,

Thanks for the feedback.
BRETT/ANDREW: you're right, my problem is that SE's are trying to
spider to this page (and cloging up my inbox with errors) hence why I
want to 301 so that the SE's learn about the new page.
SEAN: what you've said makes sense but out of interest how else would
you build a website without re-using a page? That's the point of URL
parameters isn't it?

Cheers again everyone.
