Hey i thought that as long as your rear light was flashing, you didnt need a front one?
Not at all - in fact flashing lights have only recently been accepted as road legal (and even then only if they're BS-approved, which most aren't).
I've got a set of those little Backupz lights - I think they were £4 the pair from the CTC Rally. I stuff them in one of the pockets of my bag, so I've pretty much always got them with me. They're not that bright, but they're good enough if you've forgotten your main lights or get stuck in the pub longer than you expected.
