I've got a Bresser Sprite 10x50 which I got for 43 pounds on the bay. It's relatively chunky though so most of the time touring I carry a "Carson blackwave 10x25" which I got for 16 (again on the bay)
Sometimes you go somewhere and there's nothing worth looking at, so the Bresser feels a bit OTT. The Carson is always fine. I'm no expert on these things but those are what I use.
Barr and Stroud and Celestron also have some decent stuff. I imagine there's not much difference in the market we're looking at, but it's probably worth going for a brand name of some description.

Which is excactly the kind of opinion I was hoping for - that 25mm aperture is adequate.
Because the ex-photographer in me thinks a larger aperture is always better, but none of the sites I've found are able to quantify/provide information about light sensitivity across a range of say 10x25, 10x32 or 10x45..
Got at link to some nice ones?
Wearing glasses and having one eye with worse sight than the other makes adjusting an using binos a really awfull experience.
edit: The only ones I kind find are either 10 gbp or >100 gbp - don't mind spending a bit more than 10.
