To answer my own question I ended up with a HP Stream 11 (150 quid from PC World *shudder*) which has a good display and keyboard for the money (although cheap trackpad).
It only has 32GB eMMC which is slow and has driver issues with many open source OSes but it does work with vanilla ubuntu LTS (although the equivalent lubuntu didn't install so I had to install the packages on top of the standard LTS). Over all recommended as a cheap system.
