so far my 10GBP for 1.44 BTC is the best offer, how long does it take for this to get accepted and why?

If it matches one that's there I've had it take a couple of minutes but not more. If no-one's already bid something that matches then you're waiting for another user to buy your deal. You'll be first in the queue but watch the mtgox price movements, if they go against you you could be waiting a while. If you want to deal now, cancel your order and put up another one that's the other side of some orders you can already see.
