Now for the 'Martin Lewis' Money Saving Expert answer

Ride said Ridgeback to LBS, take wheel off in shop and pay them (usually about £5) to remove cassette, then self re-install casette finger/hand tight and ride home for easy removal....much cheaper than bells and whistles tool @ £48

PS I'm assuming you're using a chain whip to hold the cassette as you turn it anti-clockwise?

Yes, I have the chain whip which I've been using.

The cassette needs replacing as the old chain broke (old and worn, along with the current/old cassette), so I think I'll get the bus to the LBS on the bus and ask them to do it for me.

Thanks for the help everyone I just hope I don't have the same problem when it comes to replacing the cassette on my Triban 3!
