Wagner frying pans are also great - old fashioned american cast iron efforts..
Range from 4 inch to bleeding huge griddles.
Take a little effort initially to get a non-stick surface (oil it and put it in a hot oven) and they need to be treated like a wok ie no detergent - just hot water to clean. They will last for ever and ever, 'cos they're so heavy they cook exceptionally evenly, and they are cheap as chips - small pans for around £5 with the 14 inch ones for about £15!
Best place to find them are 'old school' hardware shops.
I use Meyer for sauce/stockpans, Le Crueset for casseroles and ovenware and Wagner for frying/griddling.

Now you tell us Stuey 
I bought a Meyer Select stainless five pan set in Debenhams in January. They were reduced from £200 down to £90 though 
The straining holes built into the lid are very handy (good design thinking) and they are very nicely weighted. The huge stockpot is great for making up a big vat of chilli.
Actually, now I look at the prices on Amazon (the stockpot is £40 alone), £90 looked like a steal

Actually, we had a discussion here a year? ago about anodised aluminium ones.
At the wife's insistence (her friend's recommendation), I splashed out for a Fissler heavy alu anodised frying pan, about 5 times the price of the usual cheapy.
Within a year, it's utter crap, the surface is scratched to buggery. I don't use metal implements or scouring pads. Is there a trick to non-stick surfaces (I see Ian's comment above), as I don't think we "prepared" this one for first use?
(I think my 10-yr-old s/s pans from Habitat are lasting well, so not desperate for a new investment, but still... Besides, I detest the modern trend for s/s handles rather than plastic. THEY GET HOT, YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ANYONE!)
