Well, it now moves, what i did was to chop of the seat clamp part off the post, then insert a square bit of rod, and crush the post against it, then with 2 people pushing and pulling the frame in a vice, got it too move, spent about 20 min tooing and froing, but have yet ot really try and pull the frame off the post, left some wd40 soaking into it overnight.
Does someone want ot remove my stuck seatpost? UPDATE v2!!!

managed to remove the whole post (in pieces), using the vice just broke of bits of the post, so cut it down in preb for chemical attack, but 1st tried a 19mm drill bit to wear down the alu, then a tapered drill bit, with did a bit, but was limited by the length of the shank, my dad then provided a masonary bit, modified by grinding off the extruding tip at the sides and creating a cutting edge for metal on the tip, and we bore down the post (no damage to the seat tube), then i just used a screwdriver ot mangle the now very thin sides inwards and twisted it out.
Picture shows whats left of the post.
