I used rim tape, I was just unlucky, either the new tube had a hole in it, or I made a hole when I put it on... then I tried a different tube and tyre and that tube also had a hole, or maybe I caused that as well. Which made me think the rim was the problem.
I will get some new tubes and a tyre tomorrow.
I don't think you need a new tyre... Put a little bit of air in the tube before trying to fit it - this should help you avoid trapping the tube between rim and tyre bead. Be careful if using lever to help get the last bit of the tyre on the rim as this is often when you can nick the tube.
When the tyre is on, inflate to like 50psi and make sure the tube is seated by bouncing the wheel lightly on the floor round the entire circumferance... Then inflate fully.
