Good news to report. My ESTA was approved yesterday evening so a total wait of approx 8 days.
Although there is a way of escalating if necessary (I think only after 72 hours) better to plan ahead where possible and apply before you need it.
Lesson learnt.
Thanks everyone for all your help.

It was 4 days. You had a weekend and a Federal Holiday, and there was bound to be a backlog from an unplanned Federal Holiday.
