Maplins are selling these refurbished for a hundred quid, free delivery, mail order only, 3 months warranty. They look like a pretty basic Linux netbook (no idea what version linux), 128mb RAM plus 2gb SSHD, take SD and USB sticks. What you can't do is use an external hard disk, and I suspect the RAM can't be expanded or the OS changed. It's a pretty basic specification but realistically it's probably enough to keep me in touch, and small, cheap and light enough that I won't feel too paranoid if I carry one around.

Anyone know anything against them?

Eee 901 sounds good - small, light and a long battery life are the main goals.

except I'm not seeing them under £250 or so. Oh well, I can wait.

They're going to be discontinued within the next six months, at which point I am hoping the price will drop.
