Thanks Ross, I've just had an Opps moment. Normals it is. 
My problem was I was using media, Moray and Pov 3.6. Moray does not
work too well with Pov 3.6. When I went back to using 3.5 things
worked as you would expect. So I'll just crawl back under my stone.

Yes, I've just been to the Turner Whistler Monet exhibition at the
Tate Britain. I want to do that stuff.
