I also looked to buy a memory chip Sandisk 2GB Secure Digital Card but they want £19.95 whereas Amazon only charge £3.77 the picture for both seem the same. Am I missing something? Who else sells the mains charger for a reasonable price ?

Well, for the mains charger, you could use any mini usb mains chager and it should work fine. I've used the ones that came with my phones and one that came with my GPS reciever.
The only problem you may run into is that the plug may be a little big, so may not fit under the lip of the Gen3. a couple of minutes with a razor should fix that or you could go for the other option.
Another more useful option would be to buy a mains usb charger, which allow you to plug in your existing USB cable. That way you can also use it for other gadgets you might have which have or you can get USB chargers for.
Something like this.

And for SD card, Amazon is definitely one of the best source. I got a couple of Mini SDHC cards for my N800 for £15 each.
When I got a SD card for my Gen 3 I decided to get a
Sandisk ULtra II Plus 2GB, which while a more expensive has the benefit of having a USB plug built in, making it very easy to take out and load stuff on.
Especially handy if you don't have a card reader easily available.
