Although one of my brothers had a Saisho walkman. Very plastiky but the sound was fine. I used to 'borrow' it when he was out. He was always complaining how quick it used up the batteries.
Another Dixons brand was Prinzsound - I had a portable cassette recorder made by them, bought in 1976 (I wonder what that would be in today's money). It no doubt sounded shit and ate batteries like a good 'un. The only tapes I had for it were Autobahn album and Temptations greatest hits.
