Help unable to download apps

[riderS]

Now I know this has been brought up before and I've followed the advice: tried turning on Google Talk, rebooting etc. In fact I can rarely get GT to sign in either but even when I do, it makes no difference to the apps I'm trying to download.
When I first got the phone, I managed to download a couple of apps without problems but now I can't.
Everything gets stuck on 'starting download' whatever I do.
I'm trying it on a wireless network as it's rare I can get 3 gs up.
Any ideas welcome! thanks.

OK, all resolved! The answer is connected with the way you setup gmail (probably only in the uk?). Rather than plagiarise the answer, I go it from here: http://androinica.com/2010/06/07/how-to-fix-uk-android-market-download-and-gmail-log-in-errors/
hope that's not against the etiquette of this board but it might just help some other poor soul!
regards to all
