As said above, Postcrete is the stuff to use.
1 bag per post. Its about Ł3.60 a bag, but usually get a deal in B&Q if you buy more than 4.
Steven- never used 2 per post before? Usually once its set, should be able to hard pack the post with muck etc from the hole.

im using 4" posts aswell this only shows up to 3 3/4" posts
12" diamater by 24" deep says 2 and 3/4 bags.if you have a proper tool to get a decent sized hole id use less bags but diggin down with a thin spade isnt easy for that.
