seen a few tesco tents at music festivals - I wouldn't trust them in any real weather, but they arn't the worst ones out there 
I used to use an ancient vango (at least 15 years old) but some numpty stood on it 
so I'm now looking for a cheap replacement that can do the same job (i.e. stand up in a force 8 with horizontal rain and stay dry)
not having much luck yet

That brings back some memories! I stayed in a bright orange Vango of similar vintage for 3.5 weeks in Iceland. Was some years ago now tho, but I
suspect the tent is still around.
As for Tesco tents, one of the Le Mans crew took one last year and left it there, still up... that tell you enough?

Halfords have tent and camping gear on at reduced prices , some 1/2 price but that seens to be their own brand, probably purchased across the road
from Tesco and then the price bumped up.

you mean one of these ?
I remember them being quite good, but the one I had was an earlt 90's 3 pole dome - I liked it main because you could put it up in about 3min
and it survied years of abuse with gaffer tape holding the pole sleves together
I've actually got one of the new style F10's as my good tent - really wanted a teranova or a hilleberg but they are so expencive

I bought one these last year.
http://www.outdoorworld.co.uk/vango-zetes-300-tent-ensignbluebell-p-1915.html
It was about £45 at the local garden center who had one of it up, little three man two hoop tunnel, seems to hold out the wet, has a fractionally more
leg room than some (im 6ft2) and was £10 less than the matching dome model with 'activity awning' thrown in...

Have used a tesco 6 berth for the last 2 years at stoneleigh and newark had no major problems with it. Plus it packs down pretty small so fits in
tango
It does flex a bit in higher winds but has been OK at all 3 shows so far, no leaks etc.
Only problem we have had is the ends of some of the poles splitting.
Have used the Vango force 10s as a scout and always found them excellent bits of kit, unfortunately the Mrs doesnt like camping and tolerates it for
the shows but wouldnt let me spend a lot on a tent
