I have to say thinking about what has been suggested it makes sense that the slave or release arm is sticking and not fully returning to its correct position. Hence, why last year it didn't seem to be a problem. If I can get under the car this weekend I will initially try some lubricant on the release arm around the casing point and see if that improves the situation, else it's a bit deeper look at the slave cylinder action.
I did enjoy the tractor talk it shed years off me especially when you reminded me of when your father gives you advice, well I think that was what it was ment to be.
