The event log gives:

ntpd 4.2.0a at 1.1354-o Apr 07 12:01:06 (UTC+02:00) 2005 (3)

The 1370 version gives similar errors, starting:

ntpd 4.2.0a at 1.1370-o Apr 12 14:10:45 (UTC+02:00) 2005 (12)

(I was wrong about it being the same version, but they are both dated 
April).

The 1397 version appears to be OK:

ntpd 4.2.0a at 1.1397-o Jun 14 11:40:43 (UTC+02:00) 2005 (1)

I can't account for the three addresses: 82.225.138.2, 84.16.227.200 and 
131.211.80.155.  My guess is that they might be the three addresses from 
the europe ntp pool which your installation procedure configured (would 
have been nice to have UK pool addresses there as well).

Let me know if you need more information.

Cheers,
