Thanks Daniel and Ronni for further tips. Well, short story I have fixed this issue from the most unexpected thing. There was a kernel file relating to NetNanny which was a third party security program not been used for many many years. I had in my fury omitted to look clearly at the message Safari was giving me each time it failed. All l saw was “Not f..... working”! But tonight after a bit of calming I took a closer look. The message provided by Safari indicated this error code. “NSPOSIXErrorDomain:1”. When I googled this I got the third party security program issue and so I went hunting for stuff - it provided some locations to go looking. I found one solitary file “NetNanny Kernel Ext”. I trashed it and after a restart, bingo! Amazing. I would never have though that something that has been lurking there for years and not a problem since then and coinciding with an OSX update this all of a sudden became a problem.
Lesson for me is to look at the error code next time! I hope this can help others in some small way.
