I just wondered if I was missing something obvious? Or any suggestions? (Obviously tried cursing at it!)

If the bike was packaged and shipped with nothing to protect the dropouts from damage, it is possible the box was dropped or crushed, resulting in the fork being laterally compressed, or the dropout slots getting pinched. Inspect your fork carefully or have a shop do it for you.
