I fixed the issue with a little help from one of the IT gurus at work.
I ran the following:

sudo chmod -R 700 ~/
sudo chown -R alastair:alastair ~/

This fixed the issue although now any command I run from gpg spits out
the following complaint before executing:

gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file
`/home/alastair/.gnupg/gpg.conf'

Maybe not ideal however but given that everything else seems to work
and my system is pretty darned secure as it is I'm not overly worried.

Many thanks!

Alastair
