 * is there a guide anywhere that could help me to remove all of the responsive 
   elements?
 * Or maybe a list of stuff that needs to go?
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 * Um, silly question, but why would you want to remove the responsive elements 
   from a theme whose name is “Responsive?”
 * Well, I’m sure you have your reasons. Basically, you need to comment out or delete
   the “Responsive (Mobile) Design” section in style.css (begins on line 2833) _and_
   comment out or remove the meta viewport tag on line 30 of header.php.
 * Responsive recommends using a child theme for customization for safe upgrading
   of the theme, but to remove the responsiveness in that way would be pretty tricky
   to do. I would instead make the updates directly to the theme, and make backup
   copies of the altered files so that you can diff them if you upgrade the theme.
 * But really, why remove the responsiveness? That’s kinda the point of the theme.

 * I know, it does seem a bit silly. Im making the site for a friend and he doesnt
   want it to be responsive… now… he did previously! Im actually trying to convince
   him back to responsive right now 🙂
 * Thanks for the help. I did remove those 2 elements – meta viewport tag and all
   related css, but that has not stopped it behaving responsive. There must be more
   to remove I presume.
 * Anyhows, hopefully I dont need to remove anything
