Hi Tomfbh, when I removed my old BB the guy at the shop told me that if the bike has "british" stickers then it's for the UK market and it has standard thread , and I was able to use a regular Shimano BB from a Cannondale Capo (still running smooth for me).
See if there are stickers that say imported or similar things about UK market.
Maybe the easyest is to just remove the BB and you can see the thread. Some where saying you can use threadless BB if u have problems finding the right one, but i have no expereince with those.
by the way mine now looks like this after a few tweaks and I'm quite happy with it, i might need a shorter stem to have a more straight posture....
(photo is crap i know, i will post a better one soon...):
