As in a couple of emails previously.

I didn't edit the /etc/udev/rules.d/which-one-of-the-18? directly. But used 
the command as root as above with the various attributes trials. But as I 
said it choked on the ATTRS of every kind. No point in adding something 
directly that would not be accepted? Not that I will be doing anything there 
anyway at this time because it's not required, but which rule? No...... I 
shouldn't have to edit this manually, not even when the system is testing I 
don't think.

But it's fine now anyway with the uuid in fstab, that should stop any future 
confusion by the system.

Thanks for your, Patricks and Kushal's help.

Be well
Charlie
