I don't think it's a raleigh, so not a mini grifter, the bull bars at the front are weird.

any ideas?

I thought at first it looked like my Raleigh Blazer (mine's blue) but has yours got a twin-toptube? Also seat clamp arrangement looks different and equal sized wheels.

I was going to suggest a Raleigh Strika, but a quick google suggests that whilst close, isn't the one.
Sorry

Think it is a Halfords Bandit as a mate had a silver one.

Picture of a silver one about 1/3 way down this page (sorry couldn't work out to to post photo.

I didn't ask where the clothes came from, most likely Great Malvern friday market.

Bike could be a halfords job, but not that one. That said, it's the only other I've seen with those front bash bar things.
