Think I have now solved this with a little help from another related topic on here.
There is a missing div but its missing from a conditional part of the code. If the single.php has comments present then the div is in existance. If the single.php has no existing comments then another bit of code is invoked and the <div> is missing.
The <div> needs inserting here. Please see the bold div. :
<code>
<?php if ($comments) : ?>
<div id="comments">
<h3><?php comments_number('No Responses', 'One Response', '% Responses' );?> to “<?php the_title(); ?>”</h3>
<ol class="commentlist">
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
<li <?php echo $oddcomment; ?>id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
<?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 32 ); ?>
<span class="commentsName"><?php comment_author_link() ?></span> Says:
<?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
<em>Your comment is awaiting moderation.</em>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="commentsDate"><a>" title=""><?php comment_date('F jS, Y') ?> at <?php comment_time() ?></a> <?php edit_comment_link('edit','��',''); ?></div>
<?php comment_text() ?>
<?php
/* Changes every other comment to a different class */
$oddcomment = ( empty( $oddcomment ) ) ? 'class="alt" ' : '';
?>
<?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>
<?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>
<strong><div></strong>
<?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>
<!-- If comments are open, but there are no comments. -->
<?php else : // comments are closed ?>
<!-- If comments are closed. -->
<p class="nocomments">Comments are closed.
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</code>
