Default Tomato Problems

Son is trying to grow tomatoes this year, he is growing them in a
plastic covered "Growhouse", some leaves appeared very dry and brittle
so Neighbour suggested we open the plastic more and water more this
seems to have taken off the worst of this "dryness". Now the leaves are
getting brown-yellow spots on them asked the neighbour again and his
only idea was Gray leaf spot is this a keep it till it gets better job
treat the plants in some way (if so what way) or throw the lot away?.
Could the earlier "dryness" just have been the start of this latest
problem? Had a quick look around Google but there was nothing that
shouted out to me.
I have included a link to a JPEG of what the leaves look like. There
doesn't seem to be any "creepy crawlies" wandering about so doubt some
sort of infestation. There appears to be no fungus on the leaves. I
have included all the (what I think is) relevant information but if you
need more info don't hesitate to ask on
cheesewebcurlycuehotmaildotcom .
The more I read the bumph about Gray leaf spot the more I am convinced
this/that (?) is the problem
