Thanks for your input guys. TBH, I'd rather not have the expense of having to buy new forks, hence me wanting to drill what I've already got. I'd never heard of fork stretch either, although the concept sounds very plausible. Dammit, thanks for the offer to have a look. How long have you had it drilled? I assume even if it was to compromise the integrity of the strength of the fork, it would show some sign of stress long before it failed.
