This thread is so very helpful to me (and my indecision).  Whilst friendliness may vary even amongst a particular breed and on amount of handling, I think people's experiences of particular breeds is very good guide.  Please keep you suggestions and experiences coming.

I think I'm right in saying that traditionally heavy breeds are more friendly and docile than the light breeds. So things like Orpingtons, Faverolles and Brahma's etc should in theory make good pets.

I would recommend an Amber, incredibly docile hens and loves fuss, black rocks as mentioned before are very friendly, strangely my cuckoo maran is not friendly at all unlike Jinty1911.  My bluebelles are quite friendly too.  These are all hybrids by the by and lay well too.  Perhaps its just the luck of the draw with some of them.
