Cheers guys, sound advice, I think its high time I booked the vehicle in for a full MOT and service before my next outing, they can also supply and fit new brakes, plus anything else they pick up.
Learn the harsh way. The fact is, having been slightly unsure in my mind, I should have done some pre-work on them and checked them thoroughly.

I was going to suggest changing it too! My eyes keep getting drawn to the strange spelling...I was going to get that sorted, but thought "Och aye, looks funny, so lets leave it!"
If you've got some hex wrenches it's really easy to do yourself.
Loosen the bolts for the brake pad, and then pull the brake lever, move the pad into the right place and make sure it follows the brake track on the wheel. Tighten the bolt and make sure the pad isn't touching the tyre.
If you let go of the brake lever that side is now done. Repeat for the other side.
Should look something like the below, in my case the pad is about 2mm from the rim.
I know, but I was sat next to my bike, and took a couple of quick pictures to show the alignment of rim and pads. The end result should look the similar even if the calipers are different.I think the OP has V brakes looking at their picture
