Default cyclocross/commuter < £800 - advice!

I'm looking for a fun and robust roadie that I can use as my only bike. I've got about a 15 mile commute and I live in Edinburgh so it's wet, muddy and there's even a few cobble sections Basically I want to ride all winter and want something I can throw around and take slightly offroad so a steel cyclocross type machine sounds promising.

I've been scanning eBay but haven't seen too much. What sort of names should I be looking out for?

I'm mildly tempted by the planet x uncle john cyclobike at £800 and can get it through the bike2work scheme which makes it feel cheaper Any other new machines around that price range?

Cheers,
Al

ok, anyone got anything to say about a lemond poprad? I'm watching a 2006 on eBay, I definitely like the idea of a steel frame but I'm not sure I need something that showbiz. How about the Trek XO or XO2. What about Bianchi's Volpe or Axis?

Most importantly, it has to be fun!
