I wouldn't recommend running 95 Andy, yes it will learn to retard ignition but your car is really running too high a boost level to operate efficiently with retarded timing.
You could as a last option use the low boost whilst on 95ron, the best option is buy a bottle of NF octane booster and add 1/3rd of the bottle per fill up, one bottle should allow over 700miles on 95 ron.

Andy,
your ECU will take a couple of tank fulls of the good stuff to relearn/advance. You can speed it up a bit with a reset (unplug battery for 30 mins or so), but make sure you've run some v-power through it first (say half a tank)..
If you're uncertain about what fuel may be available, then a bottle of OB wouldn't be a bad thing to carry.
I'm sure you know but, in order of preference:
V-power
Tesco 99
Esso 97 SUL
Total 97 SUL
then there's:
Turps
pi55
water
BP Ulti****e..
