Turn on <room> doesn't recognise the room immediately anymore

This has been driving me mad this week I ask Alexa to turn on "Office" or "Bedroom" they ask what device I mean - to which if I say the same again they turn on the room group. If I ask to turn on "Kitchen" they do it first time.

All are set up as room groups and within the room groups they all contain hue bulbs and at least one Alexa.

Originally all the bulbs were all named <room> <light placement> (e.g. "Office Ceiling") but was wondering if this might be interfering so I renamed them <abbreviated room> <light placement> and re-scanned for devices Alexa seems to think these devices are all the correct name now. NOTE: I have had the name of the kitchen and office lights called <room> <placement> for the better part of 3 years with no problem until this week.

If I check in the log/voice history the transcript is:

allw: 'Alexa office on'
alexa: 'Sorry, what device?'
allw: 'the office'
alexa: 'okay' [lights turn on]

Never have I wanted to get rid of the Alexa's in the 5 years I have owned them so much!

Any suggestions greatly appreciated...
