I think I ought to come over for a coffee one weekend and see what you think of my BX's carb!

Yes that would be good Mark - any Saturday after 10am is cool. Probably as well to get a recon kit in anyway.

will not restart after a very short journey from cold (e.g. to the petrol station down the road)

That's easily 300 yards

If it only happens during serious minus temp weather it's understandable - the area where petrol is evaporating get's cold because of that and such a short journey doesn't allow engine heat to counteract that cooling effect and a frozen carb is easy to achieve. If it happens on a sunny day then there's a problem.
