Heheh its weird when someone refers to Sheffield as 'down south'!
Well technically you are kinda in the middle , and midlanders 
Sheffield has fought long and hard not to be in the 'midlands', it is part of Yorkshire although I know northern purists draw the line a bit further up 
When I lived in London, 'the north' started just the other side of the north circular.

I'd say that's looking pretty darn good, Animal. The only obvious thing you're missing is a gasmask holder. Early war, up until about 41, when FJ were still actually jumping into action, they would have a cloth one. However, after this time, when they were used as ground troops, they would have been issued with the standard Wehrmacht tin. If you want to get one, I would suggest an original, which seem a bit sturdier than the repros, and can be picked up for just a few quid more.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Load out looks Great Stu

Looking good
You might want to slap some paint over the primer on your mess tin when you get a chance.
I'd also prioritize a bayonet & frog over e-tool but that's just me.
I have a repro gas mask tin and it's rubbish. As Andy says, for a few quid more you're better of with a 'riginal and all the patina that comes with it.
