this is what I thought , as I said it looks just like little specks of rust but I will have a look tomor through a white light microscope , the cause ?? all I can really say is its a shared loo used by a hand full of truckers and a few warehouse bods . so just by what ive mentioned how could I find the cause ??

Hmm, possible, but sounds like fetid urine, it goes brown when left.

Harpic will shift it if it is.

Glad my Harpic tip is helping so many people ;D
