Stuck Seat Tube
Discussion
The only time I wasn't able to get a post out I did just about everything including putting the seat post in a vice etc but in the end I cut the seat post of flush with the frame. I then used a hacksaw blade to put two cuts in the remaining part of the seat post and then collapsed it in on its self. Did take a while to make the cuts but needed to get the post out and had no other choice.

I'm going to have one more tug tonight, and then take it to the bike shop tomorrow for them to try their best.

WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO It's out!!!!!
Left it at the LBS (Woodrup cycles) and they ended up blowtorching the frame and eventually got it out. The paint was obviously trashed, but I rubbed it down and laquered it and the burnt steel effect actually looks awesome!
Today I took it to "Bike Hub" at Leeds uni - this is a service offered to students and staff (me) at the uni and they have all the tools, stands and consumables you could need and a mechanic (whos main job is at the afformention bike shop) who will help and show you how to do any work you need to do - and it's all free!!! So today I swappd the back wheel over for a spare I had as the bearing were gone on the other one, changed the gear cable and outers and tuned them, replaced the front disc and sorted the pads out on the discs. All stuff I know how to do, but stuff I haven't done for years, so was great having the mechanic there for when I drew a blank as to what I was supposed to do.
