Default Recommend a good Spanner Set

Now that I am starting to get into cars more, I am in the lookout for a good Spanner Set.

I do have a cheapo box from Wooly, with all different size of sockets. But I need a spanner set as I often had the time where I needed a spanner and not socket to unscrew stuff.

So... anyone recommend a good set for around £40 to £50 - need to have various sizes.

Thanks.

Halfords Pro, some of it is good some not so good, I have everything from SANP ON, to BLUEPOINT, KAMASA, PALMERA, TENG, DRAPER etc and my fave FOR THE MONEY by a hell of a long way, SILVERLINE, a place local to me does TENG and SILVERLINE, they are both ace for the money, but SILVERLINE for me seems that bit better.
The warranty is second to none with SILVERLINE, it breaks no questions asked just pop it back and replaced straight away, they don't even ask, though only had 1 thing break, it was the warranty that stopped me getting ripped off buying the likes of snap on, very overated now price versus performance.

Theres always a trade silverline stockist close by, what part of norfolkshire are you in ?
I have just been down my silverline place today getting a few more bits, they do teng and sealey, plus sealeys new range siegen, like a budget range to compete with silverline.
