Yup, you're right - and I'm using a hex skewer so there's no real chance of the wheel slipping back out of line.
That being said, you can definitely feel the misalignment in the frame even when the wheel's set up centrally like this - best way to describe is that it feels like the rear wheel is out of true. The frame is wildly unforgiving (90s Italian road bike, who'da thunk?) so the change was immediately noticeable in a way I'd probably have taken longer to figure out on something more relaxed. We live up an allegedly 18% hill so the ride down into town felt way sketchier than it normally does, if that makes any sense.
Again waiting to see what insurance wants me to do here - might be a job for Argos over in Bristol as that's my nearest frame workshop.

Looking at the frame, it has semi-horizontal rear dropouts, can you move the wheel in the dropouts slightly so that the wheel sits central?
