Cheap compressors in Netto from tomorrow
and dirt cheap Fosters/Strongbow 
http://www.netto.co.uk/Internet/nettog/catalogue/catalogue.nsf/frameset.htm?OpenPage&catid=1
£50 plus £15 for the usual basic tool set.
No idea about the cfm as they don't say, but I wouldn't expect too much.

A little unfair. Perfectly usable for a little light spraying, tyre inflation, nail gun etc. Can probably manage a rivet gun or impact wrench if you
give it time to rest.
Looks the same size as the one from Aldi that went like hotcakes - just over half the price machinemart charge for the same kind of size
(http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/tiger-840-air-compressor/path/diy-semi-professional-air-compressors-2).
Wouldn't try it on a die grinder or sander though

i ported most of my cylinder head with a die grinder and smaller compressor than that so for the money id say it is very useful as a small portable
home workshop tool. There are times when just an air blast is useful.
Sure - some jobs will be slow while you wait for tank to fill up but still faster than working by hand.

I got one of the Aldi ones, and find it incredibly useful. As Darren says just the ability to apply a quick blast of air is useful.
Laying under the tin top, trying to sort the exhaust I really appreciated the £12 air ratchet.

I use the one in my garage all the time, sprayed my old nova with it and use it for impact gun, and wire brushing engines etc
Looks similar to the setup in the boot of my car but a bit more beefy
