Well, fetchmail doesn't support full addresses in user mappings yet,
thus you'll need to rewrite your configuration a bit, hoping that
(mypartner) is different from (username) and that
(mypartner) is also different from (myname).

fetchmail doesn't seem to recognize the recipient addresses either since
the MX servers for these are most likely not the same as
mail.freenetname.co.uk.

Please add between the poll and user lines these three:

poll mail.freenetname.co.uk
       aka "(mydomain).me.uk"
       aka "freenetname.co.uk"
       proto POP3
       options UIDL
       envelope "Envelope-To"
user "(username)@freenetname.co.uk" 
       password "(*******)"
  is   "(mypartner)"="(mypartner)"
       "(username)"="(me)"
       "(myname)"="(me)"
  here
options keep

Remarks:
1. fetchall and keep together is usually wrong
2. UIDL is needed to make "keep" setups reliable
