Yeah I couldn't find a more recent post that was more or less on topic.
So I'm not going to bother with the spacers - I can even close the gap just tightening with my fingers so I can't imagine it is such a huge strain on the dropout.
I am stuck for bike shops here. As I have said before - they all want to sell you a new frame(MTB of course) or something else rather than fix your problem.
This shop is the first I actually found that had a mechanic who wasn't a grumpy arse and was actually interested in helping me build a bike. This is the first dodgy advice I have heard from him though.
Thanks guys
