Thanks for the suggestion Andy, but I cleared and cancelled my UK cards when I managed to get a Canadian credit card, maybe I should have hung on to it for a while!
I did get notification of an update for 1 app today (the first one in two weeks), so it appears that some App Store updates do still work, I guess I'll just need to rely on Time Machine if I need to re-install, but with no purchase history I just don't know what the state of my account is right now.
