Squillions to choose from on Amazon, would welcome views on those who have actually purchased. Will mainly be used for annoying the Younger Pottings by streaming Radio Caroline via my Motorola G whilst cooking tea. Over to you, Uber tekkies of the Board.

We'll not much to play with there then! For portable cheap speakers this should do http://http://www.amazon.co.uk/SoundWave-SW100-Rechargable-Portable-Bluetooth/dp/B009LJG4VU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397074540&sr=8-2&keywords=Bluetooth+speaker

I would like to put forward a motion that asking for consumer advice on an item with a budget under a score be a banning offence, does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Excellent little bit of kit, as per above it pumps out a lot of sound without being tinny. Also appears on Amazon but as it was coming up with an order lead time of 2 months I got it from PC world.

Not within budget - but just bought my father in law the Cambridge Audio Minx Go speaker. It is amazing for £100.
