Default Bird houses, feeders and food - which ones to buy?

Hello fellow bird-lovers!

I have just moved from country Ireland to city England and am really
disappointed by the lack of birds in my new garden. I am thinking
about buying a bird house/feeder and some food. I visited the local
garden centre and was overwhelmed by the amount of brands available.

To me, it seems like a choice between buying Tesco cornflakes and
Kelloggs cornflakes but I'm a newbie to this. Can any of you share
your thoughts on which brand is best to get and which brand I should
avoid. Can the birds really tell a difference?

I buy the sacks from the RSPB because

o they should know what they're doing
o they make some money for themselves selling it
o it is delivered in an enormous bag
o the birds eat a feederful in a day

Careful of storing it. Rats love it.
