Ah yes, did wonder about your clearances.
These are the concrete posts, we didn't use them as would have to get them at the right level, which we couldn't be bothered to do! http://www.chilterntimber.co.uk/product/decking-concrete-deck-post-100-x-100mm/

I already stalked you and found the pictures you posted of your deck a while back... Unfortunately I don't have enough clearance to run a beam under the joists otherwise I would definetly do it this way.
Regarding oak posts, I found a few places selling oak posts cut to 4x4 in actually, but they don't look like the best quality timbers, and I'd have to drive out to collect them so am debating using PT stuff with post savers. Didn't know concrete was an option so will investigate that.
