These cold mornings the delay from popping the selector into DRIVE and the car moving off is just over 1 sec. , anything to worry about or should I stop being so anal ?

I would check the level of the transmission fluid. Sounds like it could be a teeny bit low.
Also make sure its a decent colour.

1-3 secs is quite acceptable and with the oil being thick and cold it takes a litle longer to fill all the oil ways in the gear box.
What is it like when its hot?

When hot it's much better, about half a second to engagement, I'll check the fluid level as I tend to forget it when checking under the bonnet.

that sounds very acceptable , remember to check the level with gearbox at working temp and after selecting all the gears a couple of times put it "P" and leave the engine running. Level should be checked then.. If you need to add fluid its down the dipstick hole!
