Wonder what brand of chips The Edge prefers? (Lest I forget, they are "crisps" to you lot in the UK)

They are indeed, but I saw through said cultural divide

Not that some good ol' hot steamy Brittish chips aren't a good thing... that and some yummy fish. Mmmmmm....

I recommend a professional setup at your local guitar repair guy. Once the action is not buzzing or isn't set too high, that is a good start.
After that, you might want to eventually upgrade some bits on it... the tuners will probably need to be changed. The pickups will definitely need to be changed in time.
Possible pickup replacements, to give you far better tone?
Fender 57/62
Fender Custom Shop `69's
Duncan Antiquities
Kinman Woodstock’s, but they are very expensive (as well as being the only noiseless pickups worth considering in a Strat)
Fralin Vintage
Lollar
Congrats on your new guitar and the wonderful world of guitar playing!

The setup is the first key. If your guitar is buzzing, it's annoying and not inspiring. If the action is too high and you're 'fighthing' your guitar... it's annoying and you will give up.
The pickup changes will help your Squier sound FAR better and a great sounding guitar (vs. a bad sounding guitar) is inspiring - you'll play more - you'll learn more - you'll ROCK more!!!!

I don't really fight it, and (i don't think) it doesn't buzz. I'm already been playing all day lol
