Hi Brian

When was the last time it was re-gassed? I have read the AC needs to be used / run at least once a week to keep it operating at its optimum

i have know idear,one thing i have noticed is the rev counter twitches when you turn the air con on and off so i presume somthing is working

[Claws]

The rev counter probably twitches when the AC pump engages / disengages, just as it drops when turning the steering wheel, a bit more demand on the engine. I would pop it into Halfords or somewhere like that, just to get it checked, I think a Re-gas is about £50 - £60, they should pressure test the system as part of the service, just to make sure you have no coolant leaks.

Sounds very much to me that its a coolant leak due to the fact that it as been working fine for up and onwards of four weeks. If you are considering a re-gas the ensure the company performing the task carries out a pressure test in order to establish any leaks that are present.
