Cheaper, but mainly because it won't do the job as the other one will.
The link I posted was to a switched fused spur with digital timer
built in, the one you posted was just a timer with no isolator, fuse
or anything.
You must try harder next time!

Blush, you're right, maybe I should just go to back to asking the
questions instead of trying to answer them ;-)

As I intend to do the same thing as Chris at some point soon, could
someone explain why the washing machine needs to be on a fused spur?
Wouldn't just having a timer of the cheapo Screwfix variety make the
socket into which the WM is plugged the same as any other spur socket,
but just controlled by a timer? Is there anything wrong with that?
