Enjoy it while it lasts.
This time next year it will be a pint of milk and a slice of strawberry floating on top

got home last night, started making dinner, while chopping potatos the wife sliced her hand open and we ended up in A&E until gone 11pm. Got back home and pretty much went straight to bed, not the relaxing evening I had planned.

Can't agree. I've ridden such bikes for hours at a time as a teenager, in jeans or footie shorts, never had an issue.
Just an accessory invented to sell.

I don't think you've ridden them for hours, on a decent pace (even if you did they would have been a bit different from the modern ones since the ones in your youth contained a softer saddle.) I challenge you to do it on a thin modern racing saddle.
A chamois has been here for ages; the only thing that has changed is the finishing. In the past, they were partly sewn in with horsehairs (not any more obviously). And, before WW II, some used a steak (very unhygienic but for some it worked- the popularity of this is overstated though).
Without a chamois there's too much friction between your saddle and your posterior. It would literally burn if you only put a piece of nylon (or jeans whatever) in between.
And even with a chamois there are still loads of problems. It's the equivalent of blisters for runners. Your perineum gets destroyed in all sorts of manners.
You can even amplify the experience and add sanding paper so you won't deviate too much from the ideal position on your bike. Like Tony Martin used to do.

Perhaps my old racing bike had a softer, therefore, heavier saddle, who knows, but I never had an issue - and as a kid I would live on my racing bike. Maybe in the pursuit of making bikes lighter they simply shifted the softening into the riders clothes so they wouldn't notice.

It can be salvaged, but it doesn't look good at all.
