This is strictly untrue. Segwit as specified by BIPs 141, 143, and 144 is activated on Bitcoin. The original segwit2x proposal is not and is dead. Segwit is absolutely implemented for Bitcoin and was not dropped.

Thank you for making that clear and I stand corrected

Getting complicated since someone forked Segwit something and uses it for B2X

Not got a weeks to read and digest "BIPs 141, 143, and 144 " but do you have a Youtube link for this please
because the one I watched told a different story completely but is from 2016
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzBAG2Jp4bg

Basically he says the block gets spread over blk.dat and a "Block Extension" file using Segwit but i would like
to get my facts right about this and understand why it's not just a case of changes on the nodes but also
code in the wallet.

Maybe better you answer this question here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2679337.new#new
or open a new thread and PM me the link where we can go into detail because I am sure others would like to understand this too
