If Money rules I will go for Fiskars, if not for Gränsfors...

B&Q do fiskars tools so if you have a tradepoint card or a discount card might get it cheaper.
I have a set of fiskars loppers, not bad for the price.

remember when we made axes in Britain ? Greave's, Brade's, Gilpin, Staniforth for example
car booters keep your eyes out for old heads and reshaft them yourself rather than import, Kent style heads especially useful

Merc Doctor, Hakuna Matata and I all bought the £8 ALDI one (think I got mine for a fiver) and have been really happy with it - Marcus particularly who seems to chop wood continually to feed that furnace of his. Its a bonded unit so no chance of head departing company and its been given some welly. Really handy tool and not expensive.

Thats the one. Excellent axe.
Good sized handle too rather than some of the stumpy ones I tried.
E D I T: As Hakuna and I were discussing, you only really need it at the beginning of a fire to create kindling, after that you just chuck on whatever you've got or can find. If you've got bigger bits, an axe is no good - need a chainsaw then.
