Jessops (http://www.thedvdforums.com/affiliatelink.php?localaffiliateid=56&url=http://www.jessops.com/online.store/categories/Accessories/Camera%20Accessories/Lenses/products/Olympus/70-300mm%20f4-5.6%20ED-68684/Show.html) have got the Olympus ZD 70-300mm F/4-5.6 for ~£235 delivered in their sale, which appears to be the best new price around on it's own - but Olympus are also offering £25 cashback on this lens until the end of January.

Jessops show it as out of stock online but I put an order in at the weekend and have been told to expect it by next week. However, if you have stock in store locally it is probably better to collect.

Just be warned that you have to send to germany for the cashback, you have to supply your international bank account number/swift code. LloydsTSB charged me £6 to recieve my cashback as Olympus are not paying the transaction fee! This is the only way to get the money too as there is no option to recieve a cheque etc.

On the plus side this is an excellent lens.

Jessops also have the new ED 40-150mm f4/5.6 Mk2 for under £98 if you can find a shop with stock.

Seconding the comment on this being an excellent lens - coupled with an Olympus body with image stabilisation (the E-510, E-520, E-3, E-30) this gives tremendous reach in a relatively small and light package.

edit: shame I've already got one, and shame it's not the 9-18mm lens at that price!

Plus Olympus are offering £40 cashback on that lens till the end of Jan. It's certainly tempting!
