hi all this post is mostly for the UK members as it refers to a uk outlet but i welcome any response has any one that has used this vice, as i thought it might just do as a starting out buy . Its being sold by a well known company through its ebay store http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QUICK-RELEASE-230MM-9-WOODWORKING-BENCH-VICE-WITH-FRONT-DOG-/ and £30 seems very cheap
I couldn’t get you link to work for some reason.
Is this it?

It’s excellent but I still shudder at the price.

Your not too far from Llandygai. I would just follow Paul to one of those car-boot sales he goes to…He and his crew seem to find some amazing deals. 😉
Seriously, since you are in the UK, I would imagine there is some pretty sweet car boot / tool swaps local to you that should have much better prices than eBay can offer. Patience is the only important factor.
Good luck…
